Subject: [PATCH] chore: restore maven-surefire-plugin 3.5.6 [2.41]

Surefire 3.6.0 switches groups/excludedGroups to JUnit 4 category filtering when junit:junit is on the test classpath (it comes in transitively via Testcontainers). The JUnit Platform tags are then ignored: the unit-test profile runs every integration test and the integration-test and integration-h2-test profiles run none. 2.42 and 2.43 stay on 3.5.6 for the same reason.
