HttpMessageConverter's are client and server and arguably shouldn't
contain a server-side concept such a response status.
The status field is recent, it was added to differentiate 400 vs 500
errors with Jackson 2.9+ but there is no need for it since the same
distinction is reflected in raising an HttpMessageNotReadableException
vs a general HttpMessageConversionException.

Spring MVC now treats Flux<String> + "application/json" as (serialized)
text to be written directly to the response as is. This is consistent
with the rendering of String + "application/json".
Issue: SPR-15456
InvalidDefinitionException has been introduced in Jackson 2.9 to be
able to differentiate invalid data sent from the client (should still
generate a 4xx HTTP status code) from server side errors like beans with
no default constructor (should generate a 5xx HTTP status code).

This commit adds support for reactive library types to be returned
directly from controller methods adapting them either to a
ResponseBodyEmitter (streaming) or DeferredResult (non-streaming).
The reactive libraries supported are the ones that can adapted to a
Reactive Streams Publisher through the ReactiveAdapterRegistry.
Issue: SPR-15365
Revise Javadoc on AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler to clarify its
main purpose is to prioritze custom async return value handlers ahead
of built-in ones. Also replace the interface from built-in handlers
which are prioritized already.
Remove DeferredResultAdapter and ResponseBodyEmitterAdapter --
introduced in 4.3 for custom async return value handling, since for
5.0 we will add built-in support for reactive types and the value of
these contracts becomes very marginal.

This commit changes `ResourceTransformerSupport` to look for the
`ResourceUrlProvider` in the current request if none is configured on
the resource transformer itself.
Issue: SPR-15369
Prior to this commit, the `VersionResourceResolver` implementations of
`resolveUrlPathInternal` would delegate to the resolver chain but would
never use the give result if the current request didn't match a
configured version strategy pattern.
This is a problem if the resolver supposed to resolve the resource path
is configured after a `VersionResourceResolver` in the resolver chain;
this means that other resolver never gets to participate in the result
of the chain.
Issue: SPR-15372
Includes a new overloaded ModelAndView constructor with an HttpStatus argument, as well as a HandlerMethodArgumentResolverSupport refactoring (revised checkParameterType signature, actually implementing the HandlerMethodArgumentResolver interface).
Issue: SPR-15199
This commit introduces a `useRegisteredExtensionsOnly` property that
indicates whether classes that use the `MediaTypeFactory` for supplying
default media types can do so.
- In classes that were introduced in Spring 5.0, the
`useRegisteredExtensionsOnly` property takes the place of the
`useJaf` property that was removed in 0aaa652
- In classes that existed before Spring 5.0, the
`useRegisteredExtensionsOnly` property is added in addition to the
deprecated `useJaf`, the latter delegating to the former, but with
flipped behavior.
Issue: SPR-14908
This commit updates the main code base to conform to the dropped JAF
dependency in MediaTypeFactory. Specifically, it
- Removes JAF detection (JAF_PRESENT constants)
- Deprecated useJaf properties, with no direct replacement.
- Updated docs to remove JAF references, in favor of MediaTypeFactory.

This commit introduces a PathPatternParser which parses request pattern
strings into PathPattern objects which can then be used to fast
match incoming string paths. The parser and matching supports the syntax
as described in SPR-14544. The code is optimized around the common usages
of request patterns and is designed to create very little transient
garbage when matching.
