Includes efficient check for same ClassLoader in ClassUtils.isVisible, efficient MethodMatchers check for IntroductionAwareMethodMatcher, and supertype method resolution in MethodMapTransactionAttributeSource.

This commit introduces a deferred initialization of the declared beans
in order to make it possible to access to the environment (and even
to the context for advanced use-cases) in the beans { } Kotlin DSL.

Spring's CGLIB fork is patched with local copies of affected files here, introducing the notion of a "contextClass" (e.g. the proxy superclass) which gets passed through to ReflectUtils.defineClass for delegating to MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass eventually, against a privateLookupIn(contextClass) lookup context on JDK 9/10/11.

This commit allows several DeferredImportSelector instances to be
grouped and managed in a centralized fashion. This typically allows
different instances to provide a consistent ordered set of imports to
apply.

Autowiring implicitely Kotlin primary constructors
when there are secondary constructors has side effects
on ConstructorResolver. It seems reasonable to
require explicit @Autowired annotation in such case.
With this commit, implicit autowiring of Kotlin
primary constructors is only performed when there
is a primary constructor defined alone or with
a default constructor (define explicitly or
generated via the kotlin-noarg compiler plugin
or via optional constructor parameters with default
values).

Bean-derived null values may still get passed into bean properties and injection points but only if those are declared as non-required. Note that getBean will never return null; a manual bean.equals(null) / "null".equals(bean.toString()) check identifies expected null values now. This will only ever happen with custom FactoryBeans or factory methods returning null - and since all common cases are handled by autowiring or bean property values in bean definitions, there should be no need to ever manually check for such a null value received from getBean.

By using function literals with receiver, we can avoid requiring
lambda parameters for a shorter and nicer syntax. Based on a
proposal from Joseph Taylor.
