Some sliced tests that import TransactionAutoConfiguration do not import TransactionManagerCustomizationAutoConfiguration

[ZIRAKrezovic]

As the title says, if you use @DataJpaTest test slice, and expect an TransactionExecutionListener to be used at runtime, it won't work as the mentioned auto configuration class is not included within the test slice.

I can workaround it using

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.ImportAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.transaction.TransactionManagerCustomizationAutoConfiguration;

@ImportAutoConfiguration({
    TransactionManagerCustomizationAutoConfiguration.class
})

Would be nice if it was handled by the slice itself.

When we fix this in 4.0.x, we would ideally introduce an @AutoConfigureTransaction (@AutoConfigureTransations?) annotation that imports TransactionAutoConfiguration and TransactionManagerCustomizationAutoConfiguration and could then be used as a meta-annotation by all the sliced test annotations that currently only import TransactionAutoConfiguration.

Such an annotation would belong in spring-boot-transaction-test but we don't have such a module at the moment. Introducting one just for this new annotation that's rarely, if ever, used directly feels a bit too much so we may have to just stick with adding TransactionManagerCustomizationAutoConfiguration to the existing imports files.
