Prior to this commit, `ServletWebRequest.checkNotModified` would only
support conditional GET/HEAD requests with "If-Modified-Since" and/or
"If-None-Match" request headers. In those cases, the server would return
"HTTP 304 Not Modified" responses if the resource didn't change.
This commit adds support for conditional update requests, such as
POST/PUT/DELETE requests with "If-Unmodified-Since" request headers.
If the underlying resource has been modified since the specified date,
the server will return a "409 Precondition failed" response status
to prevent concurrent updates.
Even if the modification status of the resource is reversed here
(modified vs. not modified), we're keeping here the same intent for the
return value, which signals if the response requires more processing or
if the handler method can return immediately:
```
if (request.checkNotModified(lastModified)) {
// shortcut exit - no further processing necessary
return null;
}
```

Before this commit, specifying the charset to use with produces or
consumes @RequestMapping attributes resulted in default charset
loss. That was really annoying for JSON for example, where using
UTF-8 charset is mandatory in a lot of use cases.
This commit adds a defaultCharset property to
AbstractHttpMessageConverter in order to avoid losing the
default charset when specifying the charset with these
@RequestMapping attributes.
It changes slightly the default behavior (that's why we have waited
4.3), but it is much more error prone, and will match with most
user's expectations since the charset loss was accidental in most
use cases (users usually just want to limit the media type supported
by a specific handler method).

This commit introduces the following common composed annotations for

- @DeleteMapping
- @PatchMapping

Prior to this commit, the TransactionalTestExecutionListener required
@Transactional test methods to be public; however, neither TestNG nor
JUnit 5 require that @Test methods are public. Consequently, non-public
transactional test methods silently run *without* a transaction.
This commit removes the 'public' restriction on transactional test
methods by setting the 'publicMethodsOnly' flag in
AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource to false.
Issue: SPR-14000
In order to align with the relaxed programming models of TestNG and the
upcoming JUnit 5 (with regard to method visibility), this commit
removes the requirement that @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction
methods must be 'public'.

This commit introduces a SpringRunner extension of
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner that is intended to be used as an 'alias' for
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, primarily in order to simplify configuration
of JUnit 4 based integration tests.
Developers can use this alias as follows:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MySpringIntegrationTests { ... }

MockRestServiceServer now provides static methods for builder-style
creation of MockRestServiceServer. This includes an option ignore
the order of declaration expected requests.
Issue: SPR-11365
This commit factors out the logic to declare and manage expectations
including matching them to requests and verifying at the end behind
a commong abstraction.
MockRestServiceServer delegates to the new abstraction and is no longer
aware of how that's done. There are two implementations, one for
ordered and another for unordered expectation.
Issue: SPR-11365
Before this commit RequestMatcherClientHttpRequest served both as
API to define request expectations, i.e. ResponseActions, as well as
the implementation of ClientHttpRequest representing actual requests.
DefaultResponseActions replaces this class as a simple holder of
expected requests and mock responses. MockRestServiceServer is then
responsible to match request expectations and create a mock response.
