UI error handling refactoring (#1106)

* refactored HawkbitUIErrorHandler to delegate error details extraction to external extractor beans
* refactored ui error handling, allowed ui error details extractors to return a list of error details
* added license headers, restructured package structure
* adapted javadocs
* fixed sonar findings
* fixed license header
* added tests for HawkbitUIErrorHandler
* refactored ConstraintViolationErrorExtractor, added test for extractors
* changed UI tests feature to Management UI
* fixed the parent/child error type resolution by ui error details extractor, added test
