Spring-boot: Replace SpringApplication.run(Object) with type safe variants
The SpringApplication.run(Object) API isn't very friendly for Ceylon and it isn't typesafe so the IDE can't help with suggestions. See this twitter conversation for background.
In 2.0 we can replace it with overloaded versions and possibly consider dropping some of the more exotic versions.

I wonder if we should add the new methods and deprecate SpringApplication.run(Object) in 1.5.x?

@wilkinsona After digging into this a bit I think we can simply the API quite a bit. If we make run take Class<?> arguments, and getSources() take String arguments most people can probably still do what they need.
I doubt the Resource and Pacakge variants are used that often so we can probably just drop those. I'm tempted to try this in M1 and see who complains.
