Issue: SPR-11362

Prior to this commit, RestTemplate's constructors were all initializing
default HTTPMessageConverters. Its API provides a way to replace
those converters with custom ones, but default converters are already
defined and initialized at that point, which can be an issue in some
cases (performance, classpath...).

This commits adds a new constructor for RestTemplate with a list
of message converters as argument. With this new constructor,
default message converters are never initialized.

Note that this variant of HibernateTemplate is stripped down in terms of Session management options and just provides a current-session style with a fallback to a temporary session-per-operation.  Furthermore, in the latter fallback mode, only read operations are supported, just like with a JPA EntityManager.

Prior to this commit, parts of a multipart HTTP request could be
injected in @RequestPart and @RequestParam annotated arguments, when
using types:
* MultipartFile, Collection<MultiPartFile>
* javax.servlet.Part, Collection<Part>

This commits updates @RequestParam and @RequestPart argument resolvers
and now allows the array versions of those types:
* Part[]
* MultiPartFile[]

Note that the MockHtpServletRequest backing tests for standard
Servlets implementations now uses a MultiValueMap to store parts
(versus a simple hashmap).

Stereotype annotations should support a 'value' attribute for
specifying the name of the Spring-managed component; however,
@RestController currently does not provide such an attribute.

This commit introduces a 'value' attribute in @RestController so that
developers can provide custom names for components annotated with
@RestController.

Issue: SPR-11360

JOpt 4.6 redeclared its nonOptionArguments() method from List<String> to List<?>, requiring us to select String arguments only as we do for regular option values already.

Issue: SPR-11359

Raised all dependencies to latest possible maintenance releases; introduced additional library version variables; consistently grouped dependency scopes

According to the JDK's documentation and changelog, the Introspector itself safely handles weak references as of JDK 6 update 21 (which is what we require for Spring 4.0).

* commons-logging-doc:
  Improve 'switch off commons-logging' documentation

Update reference documentation to make it clearer that only
`spring-core` has a direct dependency on `commons-logging`.

Also reference the 'empty jar' alternative option as described in
the SLF4J FAQ.

This change makes it possible to provide no configuration for the
DispatcherServlet when extending
AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer, and therefore
provide all config through the "root" context.
