This change removes the `MultiValueMap` nature of `HttpHeaders`, since
it inherits APIs that do not align well with underlying server
implementations. Notably, methods that allows to iterate over the whole
collection of headers are susceptible to artificially introduced
duplicates when multiple casings are used for a given header, depending
on the underlying implementation.
This change includes a dedicated key set implementation to support
iterator-based removal, and either keeps map method implementations that
are relevant or introduces header-focused methods that have a similar
responsibility (like `hasHeaderValues(String, List)` and
`containsHeaderValue(String, String)`).
In order to nudge users away from using an HttpHeaders as a Map, the
`asSingleValueMap` view is deprecated. In order to offer an escape
hatch to users that do make use of the `MultiValueMap` API, a similar
`asMultiValueMap` view is introduced but is immediately marked as
deprecated.
This change also adds map-like but header-focused assertions to
`HttpHeadersAssert`, since it cannot extend `AbstractMapAssert` anymore.

This commit updates the whole Spring Framework codebase to use JSpecify
annotations instead of Spring null-safety annotations with JSR 305
semantics.
JSpecify provides signficant enhancements such as properly defined
specifications, a canonical dependency with no split-package issue,
better tooling, better Kotlin integration and the capability to specify
generic type, array and varargs element null-safety. Generic type
null-safety is not defined by this commit yet and will be specified
later.
A key difference is that Spring null-safety annotations, following
JSR 305 semantics, apply to fields, parameters and return values,
while JSpecify annotations apply to type usages. That's why this
commit moves nullability annotations closer to the type for fields
and return values.

This commit deprecates the `<mvc:*` XML configuration namespace for
configuring Spring MVC applications. This configuration model is lagging
behind in the 6.x generation already and we don't intend to invest in
this space to close that gap.
As of 7.0, using this XML namespace will result in a WARN log message.
This commit also states our intent in the reference documentation.
Closes gh-34063
Prior to this commit, the MVC namespace for the XML Spring configuration
model would use the `PathMatcher` bean instance when provided like this:
```
<bean id="pathMatcher" class="org.springframework.util.AntPathMatcher"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:path-matching path-matcher="pathMatcher"/>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="classpath:/static/"/>
```
With this configuration, the handler mapping for annotated controller
would use the given `AntPathMatcher` instance but the handler mapping
for resources would still use the default, which is `PathPatternParser`
since 6.0.
This commit ensures that when a custom `path-matcher` is defined, it's
consistently used for all MVC handler mappings as an alias to the
well-known bean name. This allows to use `AntPathMatcher` consistently
while working on a migration path to `PathPatternParser`
This commit also adds a new XML attribute to the path matching
configuration that makes it possible to use a custom `PathPatternParser`
instance:
```
<bean id="patternParser" class="org.springframework.web.util.pattern.PathPatternParser"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:path-matching pattern-parser="patternParser"/>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
```

Prior to this commit, the order of parameters passed to
ELResolver#getValue was incorrect.
The `name` should correspond to the `property` parameter of the
`getValue` method instead the `base` parameter.

This commit updates the Spring Framework baseline for the Servlet, JSP
and WebSocket APIs.
This also removes the previously deprecated APIs in JSP `PageContext`
and guards against the deprecation of the `PushBuilder` API.
See gh-33918
This commit removes all references to the Resin Servlet container, as it
is not supported as of Spring Framework 6.0 because we require a
JakartaEE baseline.
Closes gh-33772
This new interface is not strictly necessary and introduces a binary
incompatibility. This commit merges back all the method definitions into
`SseBuilder` and `StreamBuilder` interfaces.
Closes gh-33736
Prior to this commit, our XML parser usage would be already haredened
against XXE (XML External Entities) attacks. Still, we recently received
several invalid security reports claiming that our setup should be
hardened.
This commit documents a few usages of XML parsers to add some more
context and hopefully prevent future invalid reports.
Closes gh-33713
