Issue in generating Spring controller. Newly generated controller goes to undefined/web/rest folder instead generating in existing package.

Hi, I think I found the issue and would like to contribute.

/generators/spring-controller/index.js - This sub-generator does not seem to call the loadDerivedServerConfig() method that builds the configuration.get(PACKAGE_FOLDER);

I tried calling loadDerivedServerConfig() through the _loading() priority and everything seems to be working fine. This is how the spring-service subgenerator is coded.

I have the following questions regarding unit tests, The existing test seems to be using a .yo-rc.json (test/templates/default/.yo-rc.json) which has the packageFolder attribute set, but when a new project is generated using the latest JHipster this attribute is not found,

so my 1st attempt was to remove this attribute from the test and ran them. Around 7 tests failed (mostly due to snapshot mismatch) and I manually fixed all the failing snapshots (all of them were simply copying the .yo-rc.json to the test project for test generation)

My 2nd attempt was to create a new test and manipulate the test/templates/default/.yo-rc.json while copying to remove the packageFolder attribute. This way I don't have to touch any existing test snapshots.

Which approach would you guys prefer?
