GH-1565: ErrorHandlingDeserializer Extensions

Resolves #1565

Previously extended `ErrorHandlingDeserializer` only worked if configured
as a class rather than a class name.

Spring Boot automatically converts the class names to classes but config
outside of such an environment would not work.

**cherry-pick to 2.5.x, 2.4.x, 2.3.x**
