Could io.github.scouter-project:scouter-webapp:2.17.1 drop off redundant dependencies?

[slimming-fat]

Hi, I found that io.github.scouter-project:scouter-webapp:2.17.1’s pom file introduced 100 dependencies. However, among them, 6 libraries (6% have not been used by your project), the redundant dependencies are listed below.

6 redundant libraries have not been maintained by developers for more than 3 years（outdated dependencies）.

Reduce these unused dependencies can help prevent introducing bugs/vulnerabilities from outdated dependencies. Meanwhile, it can minimize the project size. To safely remove redundant dependencies, I constructed a complete call graph (resolved most of Java reflection and dynamic binding) , and validated that they have not been used by the client code.

This PR io.github.scouter-project:scouter-webapp:2.17.1 for removing the redundant dependencies have passed the tests.

Best regards
