Prior to this commit, if a SpEL expression invoked a method or
registered function that declares a String varargs argument, there were
sometimes issues with converting the input arguments into the varargs
array argument. Specifically, if the expression supplied a single
String argument containing a comma for the varargs (such as "a,b"),
SpEL's ReflectionHelper.convertArguments() method incorrectly converted
that single String to an array via the ConversionService, which
indirectly converted that String using the StringToArrayConverter,
which converts a comma-delimited String to an array. Thus, "a,b"
effectively got converted to a two-dimensional array ["a", "b"] instead
of simply ["a,b"].
This commit fixes this bug by avoiding use of the TypeConverter and
ConversionService for single arguments supplied as varargs when the
single argument's type matches the varargs array component type.

To slightly improve performance, this commit switches to
StringBuilder.append(char) instead of StringBuilder.append(String)
whenever we append a single character to a StringBuilder.

This commit allows the spring-expression module to be more easily repackaged
for embedding in third-party JARs -- for example, via the Shadow Gradle plugin.
Closes gh-26779
Prior to this commit, The "auto grow" feature in SpEL expressions only
worked for element types with a default constructor. For example, auto
grow did not work for a list of BigDecimal elements.
This commit inserts a null value in the list when no default
constructor can be found for the element type.
Closes gh-25367
Spring Framework 5.1.8 introduced a regression for the compilation of
SpEL expressions referencing a method declared in an interface. An
attempt to compile such an expression resulted in a
SpelEvaluationException caused by an IncompatibleClassChangeError.
This commit fixes this regression by adding explicit support in
ReflectivePropertyAccessor.OptimalPropertyAccessor.generateCode() for
methods declared in interfaces.
Closes gh-24357
When index == arrayLength, the array index is also out of bounds.
For this scenario, a SpelEvaluationException should be thrown instead
of ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Closes gh-23658
