We now use a non-static cache for TypeInformation instances in SimpleTypeInformationMapper to make sure Spring Boot's development tools can correctly reload classes. Removed the static singleton instance of SimpleTypeInformationMapper in favor instantiating it directly.
If the type lookup from the store source returns a raw generic type (e.g. resolving the value of a generic property against a value of that generic type - i.e. not a more concrete type binding the generic information) in the context of a generic property, we previously did not apply the generics information of the contextual instance to that very raw type.
We now expose a TypeInformation.specialize(ClassTypeInformation) which applies the current generics context to the given raw type and basically creates a synthetic parameterized TypeInformation instance.
DefaultTypeMapper applies this specialization by default now with ClassTypeInformation simply returning the given type as is so that we don't create any resolution overhead in case no generics are involved in the first place.
Deprecate ObjectInstantiatorClassGenerator and provide a replacement
ClassGeneratingEntityInstantiator which doesn't retain a reference to
the context class loader.

We're now using ClassUtils.getDefaultClassloader() to make sure we adhere to any class loading tricks the framework might impose for domain type instantiation.
Extend AuditableBeanWrapper to allow access to the last modification date of a target object. Made AuditableBeanWrapperFactory an interface and renamed what’s been previously known under this name as DefaultAuditableBeanWrapperFactory.
The components previously relying on a MappingContext to lookup a PersistentEntity now use PersistentEntities to be able to back a collection of MappingContexts behind that and also avoid unmanaged types to be added to the MappingContext.
We now also register the JSR-310 and ThreeTen back-port converters with the ConversionService to be able to get and set auditing dates as these types.
Made ObjectInstantiator interface public as otherwise the generated class to implement it cannot access it and thus the usage of the ByteCodeGeneratingEntityInstantiator fails completely.
PreferredConstructor.isEnclosingClassParameter(…) now eagerly returns if the parameter itself is not an enclosing one and thus avoids a collection lookup and equals check. Moved equals check for the type to the very end of the equals check to increase the chances that other inequality guards kick in earlier.
AbstractMappingContext now leaves the non-null-check for getPersistentEntity(…) to the factory method of ClassTypeInformation.
We now pre-calculate the hash codes for TypeInformation implementations as far as possible as the instances are used as cache keys quite a lot. The same applies to AbstractPersistentProperty.
BasicPersistentEntity now uses an ArrayList we sort during the verify() phase to mimic the previous behavior wich was implemented using a TreeSet as ArrayLists are way more performant when iterating over all elements which doWithProperties(…) is doing which is used quite a lot.
BeanWrapper now avoids the getter lookup if field access is used.
SimpleTypeHolder now uses a CopyOnWriteArrySet to leniently add types detected to be simple to the set of simple types to avoid ongoing checks against the inheritance hierarchy.
Added some JavaDoc where missing. Better variable names and slightly parameter ordering changes. Formatting in the unit tests and reference to the original ticket.

Introduced BytecodeGeneratingEntityInstantiator which dynamically generates classes to speed up the dynamic instantiation of objects. Since we cannot support every use case with byte code generation we gracefully fallback to the ReflectiveEntityInstantiator.
BytecodeGeneratingEntityInstantiator has support for unboxing of constructor parameters and more robust handling for cases where we cannot generate a custom ObjectInstantiator.

The default implementations of the TypeInformation Mapper interfaces now work with ClassTypeInformation where possible to express they only map raw types effectively.
Added TypeInformation.getRawTypeInformation() to easily turn whatever TypeInformation into the raw type representation. Changed ClassTypeInformation.from(…) to return ClassTypeInformations directly.
Added a Spring Data specific CollectionFactory that augments Spring's CollectionFactory with support for special collection types like EnumSet and EnumMap. For all other types we delegate to the wrapped class.
Added caching to DefaultTypeMapper, SimpleTypeInformationMapper, BasicPersistentEntity and PreferredConstructor as these seem to be performance hotspots on the reading side of object conversion.
ReflectionEntityInstantiator now actually throws the wrapped exception created in the catch block handling BeanInstantiationExceptions.
Pull request: #25.
