Need to add 'spring-boot-devtools' dependency

IMO, in general it would be great if all the samples and not only this particular spring-boot-crud-booster quickstart would have spring boot devtools dependency [1]. This would allow features like automatic restarts [2] being enabled OOTB. Some notes from the official docs:

Developer tools are automatically disabled when running a fully packaged application. If your application is launched using java -jar or if it’s started using a special classloader, then it is considered a “production application”. Flagging the dependency as optional is a best practice that prevents devtools from being transitively applied to other modules using your project. Gradle does not support optional dependencies out-of-the-box so you may want to have a look to the propdeps-plugin in the meantime.
