Replace Stream usage with iteration to avoid non-null requirements.

SpelEvaluator now iterates over the parameter map instead of using the Java 8 Stream API. Previously, expressions resulting in a null value failed in the collector as Java 8 streams require non-null values for map values.

Closes #2904
