ProxyHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now avoids matching parameters annotated with Spring annotation.

We now explicitly do not match handler method parameters that are annotated with anything but @ModelAttribute or @ProjectedPayload. This prevents us accidentally opting into parameter handling for annotated parameters that use interfaces for their declaration and are supposed to be handled by some other infrastructure.

Fixes GH-2937.
