ProviderSpecificBootstrap (Jakarta Validation API 3.1.0)

Type Parameters:

T - the provider specific Configuration type
```
public interface ProviderSpecificBootstrap<T extends Configuration<T>>
```
Defines the state used to bootstrap Jakarta Validation and creates a provider specific Configuration of type T.
The specific Configuration is linked to the provider via the generic parameter of the ValidationProvider implementation.
The requested provider is the first provider instance assignable to the requested provider type (known when ProviderSpecificBootstrap is built). The list of providers evaluated is returned by ValidationProviderResolver. If no ValidationProviderResolver is defined, the default ValidationProviderResolver strategy is used.
