We now handle primitive and non-primitive arrays in ProxyProjectionFactory. WE basically skip element projections for the former and correctly implement exactly that for the latter.
Removed the ability to configure a custom SpElExpressionParser for now as it's not really part of the performance optimization. Polished assertions in SpelEvaluatingMethodInterceptor.

We now allow a SpelExpressionParser to be configured on the SpelAwareProxyProjectionFactory. This parser is then passed on to SpelEvaluatingMethodInterceptor. We also now eagerly pre-parse any SpEL expression in @Value annotations on methods of the projection interface. This avoids repeated evaluations during the actual method invocations.

Extracted DefaultMethodInvokingMethodInterceptor from RepositoryFactorySupport and register it within ProxyProjectionFactory if the code is running on Java 8.
Original pull request: #117.
We now ship a ProxyingHandlerMethodArgumentResolver that gets registered when @EnableSpringDataWebSupport is activated. It creates Map-based proxy instances for interfaces used as Spring MVC controller method parameters.
Ported the projection infrastructure previously residing in Spring Data REST and extended it by defaulting to a Map-backed source to store and retrieve data.
Separated out the SpEL based functionality mostly for SOC-reasons and easier testability.
