This commit handles "empty" cases for `ResponseEntity` controller
handler return types when wrapped with a `java.util.Optional` in Spring
MVC or a single `Publisher` like `Mono`.
Given the following example for Spring MVC:
```
@GetMapping("/user")
public Optional<ResponseEntity<User>> fetchUser() {
Optional<User> user = //...
return user.map(ResponseEntity::ok);
}
```
If the resulting `Optional` is empty, Spring MVC will infer a
`ResponseEntity` with an empty body and a 404 HTTP response status.
The same reasoning is applied to Spring WebFlux with Publisher types:
```
@GetMapping("/user")
public Mono<ResponseEntity<User>> fetchUser() {
Mono<User> user = //...
return user.map(ResponseEntity::ok);
}
```
This feature is only valid for `HttpEntity` return types and does not
apply to `@ResponseBody` controller handlers.

This commit allows to specify a custom CorsConfigurationSource
in AbstractHandlerMapping (both Servlet and Reactive variants).
AbstractHandlerMapping#getCorsConfigurations method is now
deprecated.

This commit ignores errors like TransformerFactoryConfigurationError
that can be thrown when instantiating SourceHttpMessageConverter on
platforms where no TransformerFactory implementation is available,
like when compiling/running as GraalVM native images.

See Javadoc on UriComponentsBuilder#uriVariables for details.
This helps to prepare for SPR-17027 where the MvcUriComponentsBuilder
already does a partial expand but was forced to build UriComonents
and then create a new UriComponentsBuilder from it to continue. This
change makes it possible to stay with the same builder instance.

Given "/{foo}" and "/a=42;c=b", previously that would be treated as a
sequence of matrix vars with an empty path variable. After the change
the path variable "foo" is "a=42".
This should be ok for backawards compatibility since it's unlikely for
anything to rely on an empty path variable.

The HandlerMethodParameter arrangement uses an approach similar to ModelAttributeMethodProcessor's FieldAwareConstructorParameter, merging the local parameter annotations with interface-declared annotations.

Like CookieLocaleResolver, LocaleChangeInterceptor parses both locale formats by default now. Since it does not need to render the locale, its languageTagCompliant property is not relevant anymore at all.
The parseLocale method in StringUtils validates the locale value now and turns an empty locale into null, compatible with parseLocaleString behavior and in particular aligned with web locale parsing needs.
