SpringBoot Consider adding support for version ranges for actuator apiVersion

We use the ApiVersion enum to return a response compatible with the requested version. Given the way things are structured today, if we add a new version, we'd have to make a change in every place where the version is used to determine the response structure. We need a way to use the apiVersion as a range. For example, the health endpoint needs to be able to say if the version is >= 3 do X otherwise do Y.

I'm not against adding something like apiVersion.isSince(ApiVersion.V3), but for this specific one I wonder if we should just make that code a bit more verbose and change it to:

if(apiVersion == ApiVersion.V2) {
    this.components = null;
    this.details = sort(components);
}
else {
    this.components = sort(components);
    this.details = null;
}

We'll go with the extended if for now and look at isSince later if we need to.

I'm going to close this one since we've not needed this in the last few years.
