Fix missing test slice configuration

Test slices are now longer registered in spring.factories, but
TestSliceMetadata still looked there for them to generate documentation.
Fixed this so that TestSliceMetadata now looks in the right places for
test slices.

 Usually, auto-configuration classes use `@ConditionalOnClass` and `@ConditionalOnMissingBean` annotations.
 This ensures that auto-configuration applies only when relevant classes are found and when you have not declared your own `@Configuration`.
