Supporting ScriptEngine#eval(String, Bindings) when no render function
is specified allows to support use cases where script templates are
simply evaluating a script expression with an even more simplified
configuration.
This improvement also makes it possible to use script engines that
do not implement Invocable.

Beyond just formally declaring the current behavior, this revision actually enforces non-null behavior in selected signatures now, not tolerating null values anymore when not explicitly documented. It also changes some utility methods with historic null-in/null-out tolerance towards enforced non-null return values, making them a proper citizen in non-null assignments.
Some issues are left as to-do: in particular a thorough revision of spring-test, and a few tests with unclear failures (ignored as "TODO: NULLABLE") to be sorted out in a follow-up commit.

With the new `ParsingPathMatcher` implementation, new patterns are now
allowed, such as `"/foo/{*bar}". The `"{*bar}"` segment will capture
everything until the end of the given path. Adding other elements after
that segment is illegal and will throw exceptions.
One can configure on a `PathMatchConfigurer` various options like
`useTrailingSlashMatch` and `useSuffixPatternMatch`; those options, when
enabled, will try to append suffixes like `".*"` and `"/"` to existing
path patterns. In case of a "capture the rest" pattern segment, those
options won't be honored.
This is why this commit ensures that an exception is thrown at the start
of the application if an illegal configuration is applied to the
`PathMatchConfigurer`.

Prior to this commit, the AbstractFlashMapManager has used the
originating URI but the query string of the forwarded request. That
resulted to FlashMap not being matched even when both originating
URI and query string matched the FlashMap attributes. The originating
query string is now used to match the forwarded request.

HttpMessageConverter's are client and server and arguably shouldn't
contain a server-side concept such a response status.
The status field is recent, it was added to differentiate 400 vs 500
errors with Jackson 2.9+ but there is no need for it since the same
distinction is reflected in raising an HttpMessageNotReadableException
vs a general HttpMessageConversionException.

Spring MVC now treats Flux<String> + "application/json" as (serialized)
text to be written directly to the response as is. This is consistent
with the rendering of String + "application/json".

This commit adds support for reactive library types to be returned
directly from controller methods adapting them either to a
ResponseBodyEmitter (streaming) or DeferredResult (non-streaming).
The reactive libraries supported are the ones that can adapted to a
Reactive Streams Publisher through the ReactiveAdapterRegistry.
Issue: SPR-15365
Revise Javadoc on AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler to clarify its
main purpose is to prioritze custom async return value handlers ahead
of built-in ones. Also replace the interface from built-in handlers
which are prioritized already.
Remove DeferredResultAdapter and ResponseBodyEmitterAdapter --
introduced in 4.3 for custom async return value handling, since for
5.0 we will add built-in support for reactive types and the value of
these contracts becomes very marginal.

Prior to this commit, the `VersionResourceResolver` implementations of
`resolveUrlPathInternal` would delegate to the resolver chain but would
never use the give result if the current request didn't match a
configured version strategy pattern.
This is a problem if the resolver supposed to resolve the resource path
is configured after a `VersionResourceResolver` in the resolver chain;
this means that other resolver never gets to participate in the result
of the chain.

Includes a new overloaded ModelAndView constructor with an HttpStatus argument, as well as a HandlerMethodArgumentResolverSupport refactoring (revised checkParameterType signature, actually implementing the HandlerMethodArgumentResolver interface).
Issue: SPR-15199
This commit changes the `MockServletContext.getMimeType` method to use
`MediaTypeFactory` instead of JAF. It also adds a `addMimeType(String,
MediaType)` method to customize the mime types returned from said
method.
Issue: SPR-14908
This commit introduces a PathPatternParser which parses request pattern
strings into PathPattern objects which can then be used to fast
match incoming string paths. The parser and matching supports the syntax
as described in SPR-14544. The code is optimized around the common usages
of request patterns and is designed to create very little transient
garbage when matching.

Codacy warns us that there are several references to Boolean
constructors in the tests. Direct usage of the Boolean constructor is
discouraged and even deprecated in Java 9 [1]. Boolean constructor use
can easily be replaced with the constant instances.
This commit contains the following changes:
- replace references to Boolean constructors with boolean constants in
JSP tag tests
- update the copyright year where necessary
- BooleanComparatorTests is intentionally left unchanged as it should
also work with the non-constant instances correctly
