Deprecated the ResourceProcessor invoking infrastructure in place here in favor of the types moved to Spring HATEOAS. Refactored our codebase to make use of these newly introduced types right away.

We now forward the AutowireCapableBeanFactory contained in the ApplicationContext to the HalHandlerInstantiator to make sure Jackson components can use dependency injection to access Spring managed beans.
Upgraded to Spring HATEOAS 0.21 snapshots to see the changes necessary in HalHandlerInstantiator.

Previously our support for the HTTP DELETE method on item resources was requiring a repository's findOne(…) method to be available and exposed. However, the latter might not be desirable as the support of GET and HEAD requests for item resources depends on that.
We now changed that to only checking that a findOne(…) method is declared on the repository as the implementation of RepositoryEntityController.deleteItemResource(…) requires it to be present to be able to trigger the events that intercept deletes for a particular type.
We now use the APIs in place in Spring MVC to make sure we create proper redirects for requests that carry proxy headers so that the redirect target is still going through the proxy.
We now correctly handle nested values by manually traversing the potentially nested property path, creating a PropertyAccessor for each nesting step considering the property access settings defined in the mapping metadata.
A refactoring in the course of the 2.5 development dropped the application of explicit projection in case of excerpts being requested. This particularly applies to collection resources with explicit projection requests which need to get the explicit projection applied over the default excerpt projection potentially registered.
This is now fixed by the explicitly selected projection (if existing) always trumping the excerpt one.
Changed the implementation of ValidationErrors to be based on AbstractBeanPropertyBindingResult to consider the nesting implemented in superclasses and using a PersistentPropertyAccessor to lookup the property values.
ValidatingRepositoryEventListener now uses this implementation if a PersistentEntity can be obtained for the type under consideration, falling back to a DirectFieldBindingResult otherwise.
Until now, the controller handling a PUT request for an item resource defensively tried to set the identifier of the entity to update to guard against request payloads accidentally modifying the identifier of entities to be uploaded by using the raw identifier from the URI. Through the introduction of customized entity lookups this isn't necessarily the actual entity identifier anymore.
We now apply this defensive logic in the argument resolver for the incoming PersistentEntityResource where we have access to the object to update, can lookup the actual identifier directly and set it back after Jackson has applied the request body to the object to update.

RepositoryPropertyReferenceController now uses a RepositoryInvoker instead of the ConversionService so that potentially applied customized entity lookups are considered during that lookup.
Extracted HttpHeadersPreparer to remove functionality and dependencies from the commons superclass of all Spring Data REST controllers in favor of a dedicated type.

Upgraded to JSONPath 1.1.0 as 0.9 is not supported with Spring 4.2 anymore. Tweaked integration tests due to changed semantics and internals of JSONPath >= 1.0.
Extracted store specific tests into separate test modules to prevent classpath overlap between projects. Those tests are now executed in an "it" build profile to prevent the tests being packaged for distribution on release.
Use Map-based repositories and mapping contexts for test in the Core and WebMvc module.
Slightly changed the configuration API for lookup types on RepositoryRestConfiguration.

Tweaked custom Jackson serialization to make sure nested entities are rendered as resources so that links to related resources can be collected on nested levels as well.
Extracted EmbeddedResourcesAssembler from PersistentEntityResourceAssembler so that embedded resources can also be build for nested entities. Extracted a ResourceProcessorInvoker from ResourceProcessorHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler to allow ResourceSupport instances created for nested entities get the ResourceProcessor instance registered for them invoked as well.
ProjectionDefinitionRegistrar now also allows the domain type of a repository being registered as excerpt, too.

Added required solr.xml and moved core.properties to new location. Additionally registered a CloseHook to prevent SolrCore.close() failures.
Original pull request: #209.
We now configure a proper output directory for Querydsl generated test classes. Previously we used the folder that's automatically picked up by the main compilation step which breaks subsequent compile runs if they're not run with a previous clean.
