Replace DropwizardAppExtension.getApplication() with @Autowired application field
io.moderne.java.dropwizard.boot.test.ReplaceDropwizardApplicationWithAutowired
Replaces calls to DropwizardAppExtension.getApplication() with a reference to a new @Autowired <AppType> application field on the enclosing class. The application type is extracted from the constructor's first argument (new DropwizardAppExtension<>(TestApp.class, ...)); skips the rewrite if not resolvable. The application class must be a top-level class.
