Support Thymeleaf

[takeoss39]

Feature Request

Description of Problem:

We have a lot of Thymeleaf assets, so we made a custom template engine using Thymeleaf .
But when the BDK is updated, these custom components also need to follow the details. (e.g. #686)
When Thymeleaf is supported natively by the BDK, we can safely update to the latest BDK, so we can concentrate on creating bots.

@takeoss39 we have not received any demand from the community to support thymeleaf within BDK core, so it would be difficult to commit resources into building this.

I can assure you that #686 is a rare occurence and we will likely not touch the templating engine much in the future. That was actually the only change since the inception of BDK. You can supply an empty implementation for the new inline method for your thymeleaf engine if you do not use that feature just so you can use the new BDK.

Alternatively, you can also contribute that integration as a Pull Request into this repository so that in the unlikely event we need to modify the parent templating engine again, we would need to update the Thymeleaf engine as well.
