Unlike other SQL-related sliced test annotations, @JooqTest does not auto-configure a test database

See #42360 for background.

While I consider this to be a bug, fixing it will result in a change in Boot's default behavior. As such, I think we should only fix it in a minor release rather than a maintenance release.

First off, it cannot be a bug since the behavior is explicitly called out in both @JooqTest javadoc and reference manual.

Secondly, as someone who primarily uses jOOQ for data access over the last couple of years, let me emphasize that jOOQ is about embracing SQL and native/vendor specific capabilities of used RDMBS translates into strong preference for integration testing against a real database. From that standpoint, this change would be a significant degradation of developer experience.

Thanks for the reminder, I'd forgotten that. This arrangement came about as a result of this discussion and some polishing. Let's keep things as they are.
