SpringBoot Allow ThreadDumpEndpoint to call ThreadMXBean in a native image

At the moment, the ThreadDumpEndpoint is not usable in a native image, as GraalVM doesn't implement thread dumping yet.

I've opened an issue for that: https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/4714

When that issue is resolved, remove the

if (NativeDetector.inNativeImage()) {
  throw new ThreadDumperUnavailableException("Running in native image");
}

condition.

We're going to remove the condition now so that the fix is available to users as soon as it has been fixed in Graal.

With the condition removed, a client will receive a 500 response:

HTTP/1.1 500 
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Tue, 04 Oct 2022 15:53:34 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

{
    "error": "Internal Server Error",
    "path": "/actuator/threaddump",
    "status": 500,
    "timestamp": "2022-10-04T15:53:34.629+00:00"
}

And the server will log an UnsupportedFeatureError:

https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/4714 is tracking removing the limitation from Graal. Until the Graal issue has been fixed, anyone encountering this problem may want to add 👍 reaction to the issue's opening comment. Once it has been fixed, anyone encountering the problem should check that they are using a version of Graal that contains the fix.
