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).

Includes unified detection of Kotlin's optional parameters in MethodParameter.isOptional(), reduces BeanUtils.findPrimaryConstructor to Kotlin semantics (for reuse in AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor), and finally introduces a common KotlinDetector delegate with an isKotlinType(Class) check.

This commit introduces the following changes.
1) It adds a new Spring @NonNull annotation which allows to apply
@NonNullApi semantic on a specific element, like @Nullable does.
Combined with @Nullable, it allows partial null-safety support when
package granularity is too broad.
2) @Nullable and @NonNull can apply to ElementType.TYPE_USE in order
to be used on generic type arguments (SPR-15942).
3) Annotations does not apply to ElementType.TYPE_PARAMETER anymore
since it is not supported yet (applicability for such use case is
controversial and need to be discussed).
4) @NonNullApi does not apply to ElementType.FIELD anymore since in a
lot of use cases (private, protected) it is not part for the public API
+ its usage should remain opt-in. A dedicated @NonNullFields annotation
has been added in order to set fields default to non-nullable.
5) Updated Javadoc and reference documentation.
Issue: SPR-15756
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.
