PR checklist

• Pull Request title clearly describes the work in the pull request and Pull Request description provides details about how to validate the work. Missing information here may result in delayed response from the community.
• Read the contribution guidelines.
• Run the following to build the project and update samples:

  ./mvnw clean package || exit
  ./bin/generate-samples.sh ./bin/configs/*.yaml || exit
  ./bin/utils/export_docs_generators.sh || exit
  

  (For Windows users, please run the script in WSL)
  Commit all changed files.
  This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master.
  These must match the expectations made by your contribution.
  You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example ./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*.
  IMPORTANT: Do NOT purge/delete any folders/files (e.g. tests) when regenerating the samples as manually written tests may be removed.
• File the PR against the correct branch: master (upcoming 7.x.0 minor release - breaking changes with fallbacks), 8.0.x (breaking changes without fallbacks)
• If your PR solves a reported issue, reference it using GitHub's linking syntax (e.g., having "fixes #123" present in the PR description)
• If your PR is targeting a particular programming language, @mention the technical committee members, so they are more likely to review the pull request.

Summary by cubic

Removed springfox support from the kotlin-spring generator and deleted related samples and config. Use springdoc or source for API docs going forward.

• Refactors

  • Dropped SPRINGFOX from supported documentation providers and the enum.
  • Swagger UI bootstrap now only applies to source.
  • Removed kotlin-springboot-springfox sample, its config, and the CI sample entry.
  • Updated tests to stop referencing documentationProvider=springfox and use documentationProvider=none where needed (e.g., with annotationLibrary=swagger1).
  • Updated docs to remove springfox from documentationProvider options.

• Migration

  • Replace documentationProvider: springfox with springdoc (recommended) or source.
  • If using springdoc, set annotationLibrary: swagger2.
  • Remove any local usage of the deleted kotlin-springboot-springfox sample and config.

P2: Use `DocumentationProvider.NONE` for `DOCUMENTATION_PROVIDER` instead of `AnnotationLibrary.NONE`; the current line relies on an accidental string match (`"none"`) between different enums.</violation>
