DATACMNS-1235 - Polishing.

Introduced BeanLookup to easily create a Lazy<T>-based lookup of a unique bean by type on a ListableBeanFactory. This is in support of making it easy for downstream Spring Data modules to consume the EntityPathResolver declared in an ApplicationContext using XML configuration.

QuerydslWebConfiguration now uses a plain ObjectProvider to access the bean defined falling back to our default.
