Move PAP database provider to spring boot default

This review makes PAP talk to DB directly using the spring repositories
instead of going to policy-models-provider.
The models-provider methods that were just used by PAP (and not used
anymore) will be removed in a different review.
Also a bug identified with the usage of GeneratedValue in
PfGeneratedIdKey (which is just used by PAP in statistics & audit) will
also be fixed in a separate review as part of POLICY-3897.
