Deprecation of `@IsProperty.value`

[01es]

Description

Annotation @IsProperty and its member value have long been used to capture type arguments of property types. Specifically, the type of elements in a collection:

@IsProperty(Details.class)
List<Details> details;

And the type argument of a property descriptor:

@IsProperty(WorkActivity.class)
PropertyDescriptor<WorkActivity> pd;

However, this information can also be accessed via Field.getGenericType(), which is a simpler alternative that alleviates engineers from the burden of correctly using and maintaining @IsProperty.value().

The goal of this issue is to deprecate public API @IsProperty.value() and to modify the implementation so that Field.getGenericType() is used instead.

Expected outcome

Simplification of property definitions, @IsProperty.value() is no longer required.
