Although gh-20615 introduced the use of @AliasFor for @Component(value) in the built-in
stereotype annotations (@Service, @Controller, @Repository, @Configuration, and
@RestController), prior to this commit the framework did not actually rely on @AliasFor
support when looking up a component name via stereotype annotations. Rather, the
framework had custom annotation parsing logic in
AnnotationBeanNameGenerator#determineBeanNameFromAnnotation() which effectively ignored
explicit annotation attribute overrides configured via @AliasFor.
This commit revises AnnotationBeanNameGenerator#determineBeanNameFromAnnotation() so that
it first looks up @Component stereotype names using @AliasFor semantics before falling
back to the "convention-based" component name lookup strategy.
Consequently, the name of the annotation attribute that is used to specify the bean name
is no longer required to be `value`, and custom stereotype annotations can now declare an
attribute with a different name (such as `name`) and annotate that attribute with
`@AliasFor(annotation = Component.class, attribute = "value")`.

This commit reinstates support for the legacy JSR-250
@javax.annotation.ManagedBean and JSR-330 @javax.inject.Named
annotations with regard to component name lookups and component
scanning.
Closes gh-31090
Prior to this commit, there was an issue with the semantics of property
source overrides. Specifically, a @PropertySource annotation present as
a meta-annotation on a @Configuration class was registered with higher
precedence than a @PropertySource annotation declared closer to (or
directly on) the @Configuration class. Consequently, there was no way
for a "local" @PropertySource annotation to override properties
registered via @PropertySource as a meta-annotation.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a new overloaded
getMergedRepeatableAnnotationAttributes() variant in
AnnotatedTypeMetadata that allows the caller to supply a
sortByReversedMetaDistance flag. When set to `true`, the annotation
search results will be sorted in reversed order based on each
annotation's meta distance, which effectively orders meta-annotations
before annotations that are declared directly on the underlying element.
ConfigurationClassParser and AnnotationConfigUtils have been updated to
use this new repeatable annotation search method for @PropertySource.
Closes gh-31074
Prior to this commit, Spring failed to find multiple composed
@ComponentScan and @PropertySource annotations or multiple
@ComponentScans and @PropertySources container annotations. The reason
was due to lacking support in the AnnotatedTypeMetadata API.
This commit introduces support for finding all @ComponentScan and
@PropertySource annotations by making use of the new
getMergedRepeatableAnnotationAttributes() method in
AnnotatedTypeMetadata.

This commit allows to configure custom file
extensions in ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource
thanks to a new setFileExtensions setter.
Combined with setPropertiesPersister, it allows
custom implementations supporting any kind of
property file.
