Introduce ReflectionUtils#getUniqueDeclaredMethods

This change is in support of certain polymorphism cases in
@Configuration class inheritance hierarchies.  Consider the following
scenario:

@Configuration
public abstract class AbstractConfig {
    public abstract Object bean();
}

@Configuration
public class ConcreteConfig {
    @Override
    @Bean
    public BeanPostProcessor bean() { ... }
}

ConcreteConfig overrides AbstractConfig's #bean() method with a
covariant return type, in this case returning an object of type
BeanPostProcessor.  It is critically important that the container
is able to detect the return type of ConcreteConfig#bean() in order
to instantiate the BPP at the right point in the lifecycle.

Prior to this change, the container could not do this.
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory#getTypeForFactoryMethod called
ReflectionUtils#getAllDeclaredMethods, which returned Method objects
for both the Object and BeanPostProcessor signatures of the #bean()
method.  This confused the implementation sufficiently as not to
choose a type for the factory method at all.  This means that the
BPP never gets detected as a BPP.

The new method being introduced here, #getUniqueDeclaredMethods, takes
covariant return types into account, and filters out duplicates,
favoring the most specific / narrow return type.

Additionally, it filters out any CGLIB 'rewritten' methods, which
is important in the case of @Configuration classes, which are
enhanced by CGLIB.  See the implementation for further details.
