The `RuntimeHints` API allows to describe hints for the reflection,
proxies and resources behavior at runtime. The need for a particular
behavior can be covered by several types of hints, at different levels.
This knowledge can be important in several cases:
* before contributing additional hints, infrastructure can check if an
existing hint already covers the behavior
* this can be used in test suites and test infrastructure
This commit adds a new RuntimeHintsPredicates that generates `Predicate`
instances for testing `RuntimeHints` against a desired runtime behavior
for reflection, resources or proxies.

This commit adds a central utility to figure out if the application
must run with Ahead-Of-Time optimizations. This is mandatory for running
in a native image but can be selected on the JVM using the
"spring.aot.enabled" property.
This commit also introduces a utility that can be used to initialize a
context with generated artifacts. This represents the runtime
counterpart of ApplicationContextAotGenerator.
Closes gh-28474
Prior to this commit, the hints conditions were only supported for the
`TypeHint` case. GraalVM generally expanded this concept to all hints
and we should do the same.
Right now, only the `typeReachable` condition is available but we should
design for possible future additions.
This commit introduces a new `ConditionalHint` contract implemented by
all hints compatible with this approach. The condition information is
also used in all configuration writers as a result.
Closes gh-28126
This commit adds a `@Reflective` annotation that can be used to declare
that the annotated element requires reflection at runtime. By default,
the annotated element is exposed but this can be customized by
specifying a dedicated `ReflectiveProcessor`.
Closes gh-28469
Prior to this commit, we could only contribute `RuntimeHints` through
two mechanisms:
* `AotContributingBeanFactoryPostProcessor`, consdering the entire
`BeanFactory` and designed for contributing both code and hints.
* `AotContributingBeanPostProcessor`, consdering beans one by one, but
also designed for contributing both code and hints.
There are cases where libraries and applications want to contribute
`RuntimeHints` only, in a more static fashion: a dependency being
present, or a piece of infrastructure being considered by the
application context are good enough signals to contribute hints about
resources or reflection.
This commit adds the `RuntimeHintsRegistrar` contract for these cases.
Implementations can be declared as `spring.factories` and they will be
processed as soon as they're detected on the classpath. They can also be
declared with `@ImportRuntimeHints` and they will be processed if the
annotated bean definition is considered in the application context.
This annotation should be mainly used on configuration classes and on
bean methods.
```
@Configuration
@ImportRuntimeHints(CustomRuntimeHintsRegistrar.class)
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
@ImportRuntimeHints(OtherRuntimeHintsRegistrar.class)
public MyBean myBean() {
//...
}
}
```

Since the Nashorn JavaScript engine was removed in Java 15, these tests
will never be run on a Java 17+ JDK which is required as of Spring
Framework 6.0.

This commit updates InitDestroyBeanPostProcessor so that it contributes
init or destroy method names to the `RootBeanDefinition`. This is then
used by the generator to provide these methods to the optimized AOT
context.
Invocation of those init methods still happen using reflection so
dedicated hints are contributed for them.
Closes gh-28151
This commit introduces a way to process a GenericApplicationContext
ahead of time. Components that can contribute in that phase are
invoked, and their contributions are recorded in the
GeneratedTypeContext.
This commit also expands BeanFactoryContribution so that it can exclude
bean definitions that are no longer required.
Closes gh-28150
This commit adds a way to refresh a GenericApplicationContext for ahead
of time processing: refreshForAotProcessing() processes the bean factory
up to a point where it is about to create bean instances.
MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor implementations are the only bean
post processors that are invoked during this phase.
Closes gh-28065
This commit adds a way for a BeanFactoryPostProcessor to participate to
AOT optimizations by contributing code that replaces its runtime
behaviour.
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor does implement this new interface and
computes a mapping of the ImportAware configuration classes. The mapping
is generated for latter reuse by ImportAwareAotBeanPostProcessor.
Closes gh-2811
Before this commit, CronField.Type::rollForward added temporal units
to reach the higher order field. This caused issues with DST, where
the added amount of hours was either too small or too large.
This commit refactors the implementation so that it now adds one to the
higher order field, and reset the current field to the minimum value.
Closes gh-28095
