There is no longer any distinction between the old "contexts dir" and the
"webapps dir".
They are one in the same now.
See the 'monitoredDirName' property on the WebAppProvider.

https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/deployment-architecture.html#default-web-app-provider

This change was put in as the old mechanism was poorly understood and
caused many duplicate deployments.
(Once from the raw WAR file and once again for the XML context, often on
different contextPaths)
