docs(release-notes): 2.1.4 patch entry + 2.2.0-M3 webapps-neo/version drift fixes

[kthoms]

Summary

• 2.1.4: adds a Patch Releases entry documenting the Spring Boot 4.0.8 / Spring Framework 7.0.9 dependency bump.
• 2.2 (M3 draft):
  • Adds a New and Noteworthy entry for the new webapps-neo technical preview (Feature/1069 integrate new web apps operaton#3296, fix(webapps-neo): Make the packaged web app usable and close its security defects operaton#3515) — was missing entirely from the milestone draft.
  • Corrects version drift against parent/pom.xml on main: WildFly 40 -> 41.0.0.Final, Tomcat 11.0.22 -> 11.0.25, Quarkus 3.33.2.1 -> 3.33.3.1, Groovy 5.0.6 -> 5.1.0.

Found during automated PREPARE checks for the 2.1.4 and 2.2.0-M3 releases.

Test plan

• Human review of the webapps-neo write-up for accuracy/tone
• Confirm no further version drift before M3 ships

• The version table is still out of sync with the canonical main POMs: pom.xml declares Spring Boot 4.1.1 and Spring 7.0.9, while parent/pom.xml declares Jackson 2.21.5, but the corresponding 2.2 entries remain 4.1.0, 7.0.7, and 2.21.4. Since this PR is correcting release-note version drift, please update those cells and the matching values in the Versions & Compatibility section as well.

| Apache Tomcat            | 11.0.21        | 11.0.25        |
| WildFly                  | 38.0.1.Final   | 41.0.0.Final   |
| Jackson                  | 2.21.2         | 2.21.4         |
| Groovy                   | 5.0.5          | 5.1.0          |
| Quarkus                  | —              | 3.33.3.1       |

• Although this row is corrected, the same release section still lists Spring Boot 4.1.0 and Spring Framework 7.0.7 at lines 259–260. The current main build POM manages 4.1.1 and 7.0.9, so the published compatibility versions will remain stale; please update those entries as part of this version-drift pass.

The Operaton Quarkus extension is based on **Quarkus 3.33.3.1 LTS**.
