This commit adds additional context to the exception message generated
when two candidate methods are discovered in MvcUriComponentsBuilder's
getMethod(Class<?>, String, Object...).

Issue: SPR-12977

This commit introduces a new fromMethodNameWithBridgedMethod() test in
MvcUriComponentsBuilderTests which is currently disabled via @Ignore
until this bug is resolved.

When used in combination with GzipResourceResolver, the
CachingResourceResolver does not properly cache results, since it only
takes the request path as a input for cache key generation.

Here's an example of that behavior:

1. an HTTP client requests a resource with `Accept-Encoding: gzip`, so
the GzipResourceResolver can resolve a gzipped resource.
2. the configured CachingResourceResolver caches that resource.
3. another HTTP client requests the same resource, but it does not
support gzip encoding; the previously cached gzipped resource is still
returned.

This commit uses the presence/absence of gzip encoding support as an
input in cache keys generation.

Before this change AbstractHandlerMethodMapping contained multiple
maps all containing different kinds of mapping meta-data. After the
change a MappingDefinitionRegistry inner class encapsulates these
fields along with their initialization code.

This commit fixes recent build failures involving
MessageBrokerBeanDefinitionParserTests and NoClassDefFoundError:
io/netty/channel/nio/NioEventLoopGroup.

This commit documents the status quo for the getMetaAnnotationTypes()
method in AnnotatedElementUtils and adds appropriate regression tests to
AnnotatedElementUtilsTests.

In addition, this commit also introduces a SimpleAnnotationProcessor
base class in AnnotatedElementUtils.

Issue: SPR-11514

This commit documents return values throughout AnnotatedElementUtils and
improves the documentation for the internal Processor API.

Prior to this commit it was possible for two @BootstrapWith annotations
to be 'present' on a test class -- for example, via competing custom
composed annotations. However, only one of the annotations will ever be
used to bootstrap the TestContext Framework. Thus, in such scenarios
one of the annotations will be silently ignored.

This commit introduces a check for such scenarios. BootstrapUtils'
resolveTestContextBootstrapper() method now throws an
IllegalStateException if more than one @BootstrapWith annotation is
'present' on a given test class.

This commit consistently documents the 'element' and 'annotationType'
method arguments throughout AnnotatedElementUtils.

In addition, this commit introduces assertions against preconditions
for all 'element' and 'annotationType' method arguments.

Previously MockHttpServletRequestBuilder merge method would append the
parent's (default) RequestPostProcessor implementations to the end. This
means that the default RequestPostProcessor implementations would override
values set by previous RequestPostProcessor implementations.

This commit ensures that the default RequestPostProcessor are preformed
first so that additional RequestPostProcessor implementations override
the defaults.

This commit introduces support for finding annotations on abstract,
bridge, and interface methods in AnnotatedElementUtils.

 - Introduced dedicated findAnnotationAttributes() methods in
   AnnotatedElementUtils that provide first-class support for
   processing methods, class hierarchies, interfaces, bridge methods,
   etc.

 - Introduced find/get search algorithm dichotomy in
   AnnotatedElementUtils which is visible in the public API as well as
   in the internal implementation. This was necessary in order to
   maintain backwards compatibility with the existing API (even though
   it was undocumented).

 - Reverted all recent changes made to the "get semantics" search
   algorithm in AnnotatedElementUtils in order to ensure backwards
   compatibility, and reverted recent changes to
   JtaTransactionAnnotationParser and SpringTransactionAnnotationParser
   accordingly.

 - Documented internal AnnotatedElementUtils.Processor<T> interface.

 - Enabled failing tests and introduced
   findAnnotationAttributesFromBridgeMethod() test in
   AnnotatedElementUtilsTests.

 - Refactored ApplicationListenerMethodAdapter.getCondition() and
   enabled failing test in TransactionalEventListenerTests.

 - AnnotationUtils.isInterfaceWithAnnotatedMethods() is now package
   private.
