This commit fixes a regression in PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer
that was introduced in Spring Framework 6.2.7.
Specifically, this commit reinstates automatic String-conversion of
values from PropertySources in the Environment using the
ConversionService configured in the Environment.

Closes gh-34936
Prior to this commit, a BeanDefinitionReader registered via
@ImportResource was required to be public and have a public
constructor that accepts a single BeanDefinitionRegistry. However, the
public visibility requirements are not necessary, and the requirements
for the constructor's formal parameter list is not documented.
To address those issues, this commit removes the public visibility
restrictions and documents that a BeanDefinitionReader registered via
@ImportResource must declare a constructor that accepts a single
BeanDefinitionRegistry.
In addition, this commit includes the cause of the instantiation
failure in case the registered BeanDefinitionReader cannot be
instantiated.
Closes gh-34928
PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer and PreferencesPlaceholderConfigurer have
been officially deprecated since Spring Framework 5.2.
Since we no longer expect applications to depend on these outdated
mechanisms, this commit deprecates these classes "for removal" in
Spring Framework 8.0.

This commit overrides containsProperty() in
FallbackEnvironmentPropertySource for consistency with the
implementation of ConfigurableEnvironmentPropertySource.
See gh-34861
Although it's unlikely that the implementation of getPropertySources()
in a ConfigurableEnvironment would be overridden to return a different
MutablePropertySources instance than the one that the
ConfigurableEnvironment typically acts on, it is in fact possible.
In light of that possibility, this commit refactors
ConfigurableEnvironmentPropertySource so that it always obtains a fresh
PropertySources reference.
See gh-34861
Commit 3295289e17 fixed a number issues with placeholder resolution in
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer. However, in doing so, it replaced
a raw PropertySource with a CompositePropertySource which implements
EnumerablePropertySource.
Consequently, all property sources registered in the Environment must
now implement EnumerablePropertySource (which is not an actual
requirement). Otherwise, invocations of getPropertyNames() on the
CompositePropertySource result in an IllegalStateException, and that is
a breaking change which resulted in numerous build failures within the
Spring portfolio.
To address that regression, this commit introduces a private
ConfigurableEnvironmentPropertySource in
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer which is a "raw" PropertySource
that delegates directly to the PropertySources in a
ConfigurableEnvironment.
This commit also extracts the raw PropertySource for direct Environment
delegation into a new FallbackEnvironmentPropertySource.
See gh-17385
Closes gh-34861
Currently, the placeholder resolution algorithm in
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer fails in several scenarios, and
the root cause for this category of failures has actually existed since
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer was introduced in Spring Framework
3.1.
Specifically, PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer creates its own
PropertySourcesPropertyResolver that indirectly delegates to another
"nested" PropertySourcesPropertyResolver to interact with
PropertySources from the Environment, which results in double
placeholder parsing and resolution attempts, and that behavior leads to
a whole category of bugs.
For example, #27947 was addressed in Spring Framework 5.3.16, and due
to #34315 and #34326 we have recently realized that additional bugs
exist with placeholder resolution: nested placeholder resolution can
fail when escape characters are used, and it is currently impossible
to disable the escape character support for nested resolution.
To address this category of bugs, we no longer indirectly use or
directly create a "nested" PropertySourcesPropertyResolver in
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer. Instead, properties from property
sources from the Environment are now accessed directly without
duplicate/nested placeholder resolution.
