Adding security to the tutorial starter breaks unit tests making the build step impassable

[bkuntzelman]

The steps in the Flow tutorial do a good job of taking one thru the typical development of an app (including the typical adding of security late in the game.) However, the tutorial does not go through the remediations of the provided tests in the starter that will fail once Spring Boot Security has been added to/setup in the project.

Thus, when getting to the "Build for Production" step, the maven command fails due to tests failing.

It would be beneficial to go through the step(s) necessary to setup the project/tests/etc. for the post-security environment ... or omit the tests entirely from the starter as they're not discussed in the tutorial? Or include the -DskipTests option to the maven build command to let the build succeed regardless of the state of the tests. Granted, as a Spring Boot developer, I could probably go through the tests and fix them, but this is a tutorial and IMO, it shouldn't require outside knowledge.

I did note, however, that the source in the github tutorial project appears to have a suggested end-state for Flow and Hilla tutorials in the project, so thumbs-up there.
