This commit adds a reference documentation section explaining how
applications can use custom `HttpServiceArgumentResolver`
implementations to support complex application types as method
parameters in HTTP interfaces.

Prior to this commit, @MockitoBean could only be declared on fields
within test classes, which prevented developers from being able to
easily reuse mock configuration across a test suite.
With this commit, @MockitoBean is now supported at the type level on
test classes, their superclasses, and interfaces implemented by those
classes. @MockitoBean is also supported on enclosing classes for
@Nested test classes, their superclasses, and interfaces implemented
by those classes, while honoring @NestedTestConfiguration semantics.
In addition, @MockitoBean:
- has a new `types` attribute that can be used to declare the type or
types to mock when @MockitoBean is declared at the type level
- can be declared as a repeatable annotation at the type level
- can be declared as a meta-annotation on a custom composed annotation
which can be reused across a test suite (see the @SharedMocks
example in the reference manual)
To support these new features, this commit also includes the following
changes.
- The `field` property in BeanOverrideHandler is now @Nullable.
- BeanOverrideProcessor has a new `default` createHandlers() method
which is invoked when a @BeanOverride annotation is found at the
type level.
- MockitoBeanOverrideProcessor implements the new createHandlers()
method.
- The internal findHandlers() method in BeanOverrideHandler has been
completely overhauled.
- The @MockitoBean and @MockitoSpyBean section of the reference
manual has been completely overhauled.

Prior to this commit, the search algorithm used to locate a @TestBean
factory method within a test class hierarchy incorrectly found factory
methods declared in subclasses or nested test classes "below" the class
in which the @TestBean field was declared. This resulted in "duplicate
bean override" failures for @TestBean overrides which are clearly not
duplicates but rather "overrides of an override".
This commit ensures that @TestBean factory method resolution is
consistent in type hierarchies as well as in enclosing class
hierarchies (for @Nested test classes) by beginning the search for a
factory method in the class which declares the @TestBean field.

This commit updates the null-safety documentation to use "nullness"
instead of "nullability" in order to be consistent with the JSpecify
documentation.

This commit updates the whole Spring Framework codebase to use JSpecify
annotations instead of Spring null-safety annotations with JSR 305
semantics.
JSpecify provides signficant enhancements such as properly defined
specifications, a canonical dependency with no split-package issue,
better tooling, better Kotlin integration and the capability to specify
generic type, array and varargs element null-safety. Generic type
null-safety is not defined by this commit yet and will be specified
later.
A key difference is that Spring null-safety annotations, following
JSR 305 semantics, apply to fields, parameters and return values,
while JSpecify annotations apply to type usages. That's why this
commit moves nullability annotations closer to the type for fields
and return values.

This commit deprecates the `<mvc:*` XML configuration namespace for
configuring Spring MVC applications. This configuration model is lagging
behind in the 6.x generation already and we don't intend to invest in
this space to close that gap.
As of 7.0, using this XML namespace will result in a WARN log message.
This commit also states our intent in the reference documentation.
Closes gh-34063
