Prior to this commit, HTTP Range requests were only supported by the
ResourceHttpRequestHandler when serving static resources.
This commit improves the `HttpEntityMethodProcessor` and
the `RequestResponseBodyMethodProcessor`. They now extract
`ResourceRegion`s from the `Resource` instance returned by the
Controller and let the Resource-related message converters
handle the writing of the resource (including partial writes).
Controller methods can now handle Range requests for
return types that extend Resource or HttpEntity:
@RequestMapping("/example/video.mp4")
public Resource handler() { }
@RequestMapping("/example/video.mp4")
public HttpEntity<Resource> handler() { }

This change allows much more usable TOC for the reactive
stack and will make WebFlux documentation easier to
contribute thanks to a clearer split between both stacks.

The upgrade to Gradle 4.0 broke the custom Eclipse support in the
Spring Framework build.
This commit includes the following changes which re-enable support for
Eclipse in the build.
- Switched to ProjectDependency(String) constructor
- Updated regular expression that matches against project output
dependencies to include more than one subdirectory between "build"
and "main"|"test".

This commit adds support for autowired constructor parameters
on Kotlin classes with optional parameters. If some constructor
parameters are not available, optional parameter default values
will be used instead. Both explicit @Autowired annotated constructor
and implicit single constructor automatically autowired are supported.

This commit reinstates the Spring Framework BOM, which was previously
empty because of a previous change in 41cbc4670f.
This change also removes the JSR305 dependency from the BOM, which does
not belong here since it is not an artifact produced by Spring.
Issue: SPR-15885
This commit ensures that only the HTML version of the reference
documentation is rendered for SNAPSHOT builds. This speeds up
significatly the build.
Issue: SPR-15885
As of Gradle 4.0, project SourceSets can have multiple output
directories (one per programming language).
This commit fixes warnings that are logged when a single output dir
is considered by tasks.
Issue: SPR-15885
This commit applies the Dependency Management Plugin to modules that
require it; right now Spring Framework is importing BOMs for Netty and
Reactor dependencies only.
Instead of applying those BOMs to all modules, they're applied only
where they're needed.
Issue: SPR-15885
The main `build.gradle` file contains now only the common build
infrastructure; all module-specific build configurations have
been moved to their own build file.
Issue: SPR-15885
This commit merges back the "spring-beans-groovy" module into the main
"spring-beans" one. The build is configured so:
* Java and Groovy sources are jointly compiled
* Kotlin sources are compiled after
With this change, the `MergePlugin` is not used anymore in the project
build and therefore is removed.
The `DetectSplitPackagesPlugin` wasn't applied so it's been removed as
well.
Issue: SPR-15885
With this change, each subproject can configure its
build in a dedicated file like:
```
spring-core/spring-core.gradle
spring-web/spring-web.gradle
```

This commit configures Gradle build scans for the Spring Framework
build. Scans aren't performed for every build but can be enabled
with the following:
```
./gradlew build --scan
```
Issue: SPR-15885
Includes general streamlining of dependency declarations with reduced version variables, direct use of EclipseLink 2.7 and its implicit JPA 2.2 dependency in spring-orm, mixed use of Hibernate 5.2.10 and 5.1.10 for integration tests, as well as an upgrade to Jetty 9.4.7 RC0 and a downgrade to Groovy 2.4.12 (since Groovy 2.5 won't be final in time for Spring Framework 5.0).

Issue: SPR-15880
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.

Refer to both Servlet and reactive stacks in web.adoc
Move web-integration.adoc to the very end
Link in web-flux-functional.adoc
Insert "Spring Web MVC" or "Servlet" prefix in chapter titles
