Prior to this commit, when invoking init methods and destroy methods
for beans as well as methods within Spring Expression Language (SpEL)
expressions via reflection, we invoked them based on the "interface
method" returned from ClassUtils.getInterfaceMethodIfPossible(). That
works well for finding methods defined in an interface, but it does not
find public methods defined in a public superclass.
For example, in a SpEL expression it was previously impossible to
invoke toString() on a non-public type from a different module. This
could be seen when attempting to invoke toString() on an unmodifiable
list created by Collections.unmodifiableList(...). Doing so resulted in
an InaccessibleObjectException.
Although users can address that by adding an appropriate --add-opens
declaration, such as --add-opens java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED, it is
better if applications do not have to add an --add-opens declaration
for such use cases in SpEL. The same applies to init methods and
destroy methods for beans.
This commit therefore introduces a new
getPubliclyAccessibleMethodIfPossible() method in ClassUtils which
serves as a replacement for getInterfaceMethodIfPossible().
This new method finds the first publicly accessible method in the
supplied method's type hierarchy that has a method signature equivalent
to the supplied method. If the supplied method is public and declared
in a public type, the supplied method will be returned. Otherwise, this
method recursively searches the class hierarchy and implemented
interfaces for an equivalent method that is public and declared in a
public type. If a publicly accessible equivalent method cannot be
found, the supplied method will be returned, indicating that no such
equivalent method exists.
All usage of getInterfaceMethodIfPossible() has been replaced with
getPubliclyAccessibleMethodIfPossible() in spring-beans and
spring-expression. In addition, getInterfaceMethodIfPossible() has been
marked as deprecated in favor of the new method.
As a bonus, the introduction of getPubliclyAccessibleMethodIfPossible()
allows us to delete a fair amount of obsolete code within the SpEL
infrastructure.

Prior to this commit, the `RestClient` instrumentation would create and
close observations for HTTP requests, but would not open an observation
scope for the lifetime of the exchange.
This means that custom `ClientHttpRequestInterceptor` and
`ResponseErrorHandler` would not get access to the current observation
scope in case of tracing, possibly leading to missing trace ids in logs.
This commit ensures that an observation scope is managed for the
lifetime of the HTTP exchange.
Fixes gh-33397
This commit applies the same kind of processing for
Void.class element type in the ParameterizedTypeReference
variant of WebTestClient.ResponseSpec#returnResult than
in the Class variant.
