Fix off-by-one error in StringUtils.parseLocaleString()

Issue: SPR-10364

Add getSource() method to ResolvableType and TypeDescriptor allowing
access to the underlying source field or method parameter when possible.

Primarily added to provide access to additional type information or
meta-data that alternative JVM languages may provide.

Issue: SPR-10887

Update EvaluationException to expose the toDetailedString() method as
the exception message. The simple message can now be accessed via the
new getSimpleMessage() method.

Restore prior behavior of GenericTypeResolver.resolveTypeArguments to
never include null elements in the returned array.

Including ScriptEvaluator implementations for JSR-223, Groovy and BeanShell. BeanShell consistently receives the bean ClassLoader now. Also revised ScriptFactory and its implementations for varargs.

DefaultListableBeanFactory performs a fallback check for autowire candidates now, which GenericTypeAwareAutowireCandidateResolver implements to accept raw type matches if the target class has unresolvable type variables. Full generic matches are still preferred; the BeanFactory will only start looking for fallback matches if the first pass led to an empty result.

Introduce base class AbstractMethodMessageHandler for
HandlerMethod-based message handling.

Add MessageCondition interface for mapping conditions to messages
with support for combining type- and method-level annotation
conditions, the ability to match conditions to messages, and also
comparing matches to select the best match.

The testDefaultConfig() method in MvcNamespaceTests creates a new Date()
in its test fixture but then performs an assertion against a hard coded
data string of "2013-10-21". This test therefore only passed yesterday,
on October 21, 2013.

This commit addresses this by changing the hard coded date string to one
based on the current date.

Support repeatable @PropertySource annotations in Java 8 and add
@PropertySources container annotation for Java 6/7. Also add an
ignoreResourceNotFound attribute to @PropertySource allowing missing
property resources to be silently ignored.

This commit also introduces some generally useful methods to
AnnotationUtils for working with @Repeatable annotations.

The key contract is MvcUrls. An instance is automatically created with
the Spring MVC namespace and the MVC Java config but can also be easily
created in any configuration.

Some example tests can be found in DefaultMvcUrlsTests.

Issue: SPR-10665, SPR-8826

MvcUriComponentsBuilder allows creating URIs that point to Spring MVC
controller methods annotated with @RequestMapping. It builds them by
exposing a mock method invocation API similar to Mockito, records the
method invocations and thus builds up the URI by inspecting the mapping
annotations and the parameters handed into the method invocations.

Introduced a new SPI UriComponentsContributor that should be implemented 
by HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers that actually contribute path segments 
or query parameters to a URI. While the newly introduced 
MvcUriComponentsBuilder looks up those UriComponentsContributor instances 
from the MVC configuration.

The MvcUriComponentsBuilderFactory (name to be discussed - MvcUris maybe?) 
prevents the multiple lookups by keeping the UriComponentsBuilder 
instances in an instance variable. So an instance of the factory could 
be exposed as Spring bean or through a HandlerMethodArgumentResolver to 
be injected into Controller methods.

Ensure that property source locations are processed in the same order
regardless if the 'name' attribute is set or not.

Prior to this commit multiple locations from a `@PropertySource` with
a name were added to a `CompositePropertySource` in such a way that
the first location would take precedence. This has now been reversed
for consistence with unnamed `@PropertySource`s

Issue: SPR-10820

Update `AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster` to support `EventObjects`
with a null source (which can happen if they have been serialized).

Issue: SPR-10945

Update the `CacheKey` class used by `ReflectivePropertyAccessor` to
include if the target object is class. The prevents an incorrect cache
hit from being returned when a property with the same name is read on
both an object and its class. For example:

	#{class.name}
	#{name}

Issue: SPR-10486

Prior to this commit, the uniqueness check for @ContextConfiguration
attributes within a @ContextHierarchy was performed at a single test
class level instead of against the merged configuration for all test
class levels in the test class hierarchy.

This commit addresses this issue by moving the uniqueness check
algorithm from resolveContextHierarchyAttributes() to
buildContextHierarchyMap() within ContextLoaderUtils.

Issue: SPR-10997

Update getValue(EvaluationContext context, Object rootObject,
Class<T> desiredResultType) to propagate the EvaluationContext to
ExpressionUtils.

Issue: SPR-10953

Update TypeConverterDelegate to bypass conversion when the target type
is Object.class. Prior to this commit converting a single element array
to an Object would result in the element being returned, rather than
the array itself.

Issue: SPR-10996

Relax the method search algorithm used by `ReflectivePropertyAccessor`
to include methods of the form `getXY()` for properties of the form
`xy`.

Although the JavaBean specification indicates that a property `xy`
should use the accessors `getxY()` and `setxY()`, in practice many
developers choose to have an uppercase first character. The
`ReflectivePropertyAccessor` will now consider these style methods if
the traditional conventions fail to find a match.

Issue: SPR-10716

Restore pringing the payload first and headers second as it has been in
SI but also handle specifically the case where the body is a byte array
to minimize unnecessary "noise" that causes otherwise for STOMP msgs.

The STOMP UNSUBSCRIBE message does not have a destination header so
there is no obvious simple way to do a mapping and the need for it
is not clear yet.

Prior to this commit, @SubscribeEvent @UnsubscribeEvent and
@MessageMapping annotated message handling methods
could only match a strict message destination.

This commit adds a @PathVariable annotation and
updates the message matching/handling process, since
message handling methods can now match PathMatcher-like
destinations and get path variables injected in parameters.

Issue: SPR-10949

This version fixed bugs and improved performance.
New features: "select multiple attributes" and
"Array operations and slicing improved" (a new example
has been added in tests to reflect that).
