A static nested class does not keep an implicit reference to its
enclosing instance.
This prevents a common cause of memory leaks and uses less memory per
instance of the class.

Prior to this commit, the `name` attribute in @ModelAttribute was not
supported when using WebFlux. This is because MethodParameter was used
instead of SynthesizingMethodParameter when retrieving the
@ModelAttribute annotation. In other words, @AliasFor was not honored
because the annotation was not synthesized. Consequently, only the
`value` attribute was supported in WebFlux when specifying a custom name
via @ModelAttribute.
This commit fixes this by using SynthesizingMethodParameter to retrieve
the @ModelAttribute annotation.

This commit introduces the PartEvent API. PartEvents are either
- FormPartEvents, representing a form field, or
- FilePartEvents, representing a file upload.
The PartEventHttpMessageReader is a HttpMessageReader that splits
multipart data into a stream of PartEvents. Form fields generate one
FormPartEvent; file uploads produce at least one FilePartEvent. The last
element that makes up a particular part will have isLast set to true.
The PartEventHttpMessageWriter is a HttpMessageWriter that writes a
Publisher<PartEvent> to a outgoing HTTP message. This writer is
particularly useful for relaying a multipart request on the server.

This commit introduces explicit HEAD support in Spring
MVC's ResourceHttpRequestHandler and WebFlux's ResourceWebHandler,
adding just headers but no body.
Closes gh-28291
This commit ensures that any resources created for multipart handling,
obtained via ServerWebExchange.getMultipartData(), are automatically
deleted after handling the completing the response.
Resource for parts obtained via BodyExtractors::toMultipartData and
BodyExtractors::toParts are not cleaned automatically, and
should be cleaned via Part::delete.
Closes gh-27633
