[SV-39259] [SV-40301] [SV-40302] Add more rigid access check of dynamic data entries that is typically considered internal, where accidental mutation could distort expected behaviour

JCR Model (data/tree backend for Public API and REST API)

Updates

[SV-40305] Schema for the Standard Index (aka Online Index) has been updated. This will trigger a name update and a full reindex will start shortly after first startup of Sitevision after upgrade. Note that identifier lookups/resolve via REST-API and Public API of this sv:nodeIndex Node are affected!
- New JCR Node identifier is: 303.online-2026.05.1
- Previous JCR Node identifier was: 303.online-2024.01.2

Improvements

[SV-14040] [SV-24839] Add dynamic "notificationDate" property (i.e. "Best before date") for page-like nodes (e.g sv:page, sv:article). Value for this dynamic property can only be resolved via PropertyUtil, VersionedPropertyUtil and Properties (i.e. can't be accessed via the core JCR Model)
[SV-40403] Added the sv:mcpServerRepository Node as child of the sv:site Node

Public API

Improvements

[SV-40263] PropertyUtil and VersionedPropertyUtil - add hasProperty method to support has-functionality for dynamic properties
[SV-40347] NodeTypeUtil - add support for all MCP Server-related node types
[SV-40403] ResourceLocatorUtil - added convenience method to lookup the sv:mcpServerRepository
