With JRuby or Jython, specifying the 3 parameters is mandatory.

This change adds a new `getDateHeader` method that converts date header
Strings to long values - making tests more readable.
This feature is also documented in the "what's new section" for 4.2.
This commit improves the documentation in the reference manual for the
HtmlUnit & Selenium WebDriver integration in the Spring MVC Test
framework by mentioning the group and artifact IDs required for this
functionality.

Prior to this change, VersionResourceResolver and VersionStrategy would
resolve static resources using version strings. They assist
ResourceHttpRequestHandler with serving static resources. The
RequestHandler itself can be configured with HTTP caching strategies to
set Cache-Control headers.
In order to have a complete strategy with Cache-Control and ETag
response headers, developers can't reuse that version string information
and have to rely on other mechanisms (like ShallowEtagHeaderFilter).
This commit makes VersionResourceResolver use that version string to set
it as a request attribute, which will be used by the
ResourceHttpRequestHandler to write an ETag response header.

SPR-11512 introduced support for annotation attribute aliases via
@AliasFor, requiring the explicit declaration of the 'attribute'
attribute. However, for aliases within an annotation, this explicit
declaration is unnecessary.
This commit improves the readability of alias pairs declared within an
annotation by introducing a 'value' attribute in @AliasFor that is an
alias for the existing 'attribute' attribute. This allows annotations
such as @ContextConfiguration from the spring-test module to declare
aliases as follows.
public @interface ContextConfiguration {
@AliasFor("locations")
String[] value() default {};
@AliasFor("value")
String[] locations() default {};
// ...
}

This commit introduces a dedicated build() method in
MockMvcHtmlUnitDriverBuilder to replace createDriver(). In addition,
the configureDriver() method has been renamed to withDelegate() and now
returns the builder for further customization.
This commit also overhauls the Javadoc for static factory methods and
the class-level Javadoc in MockMvcHtmlUnitDriverBuilder for greater
clarity to end users.
