SpringBoot Add support for property binding in SpringApplication when running in native-image

I'm not entirely sure what's the problem, but the sample boot-features from spring-native doesn't work.

It sets

spring.main.web-application-type=none

in application.properties and runs fine in AOT mode. But when running in a native-image, i get this error:

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Web application could not be started as there was no org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.server.ServletWebServerFactory bean defined in the context.

Action:

Check your application's dependencies for a supported servlet web server.
Check the configured web application type.

I get a different error when configuring it explicitly in code with

application.setWebApplicationType(WebApplicationType.NONE);

which looks like it's #31528.

Comment From: wilkinsona

Could it be a missing reflection hint for setWebApplicationType on SpringApplication?

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/ac59b5781f30d98b8873fd0dc0010a5dbb9ccf5b/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/SpringApplication.java#L536

Without hints, the above won't find any properties to bind so all the spring.main.* properties will be ignored.
