Commit 5b1165 was an attempt to leave semicolon content in the URL path
while ignoring it for request mapping purposes. However, it becomes
quite difficult to manage and semicolon content should not always be
ignored (sometimes a semicolon is used as a separator of multiple items
in a path segment, rather than for matrix variables).
This change effectively reverts back to the original approach in 3.2
where a flag on AbstractHandlerMapping can be used to have semicolon
content removed or kept. If kept, path segments with matrix variables
must be represented with a path segment.
The main difference is that by default it is removed everywhere
including the MVC namespace and Java config.

Prior to this commit many test utility classes and sample beans were
duplicated across projects. This was previously necessary due to the
fact that dependent test sources were not shared during a gradle
build. Since the introduction of the 'test-source-set-dependencies'
gradle plugin this is no longer the case.
This commit attempts to remove as much duplicate code as possible,
co-locating test utilities and beans in the most suitable project.
For example, test beans are now located in the 'spring-beans'
project.
Some of the duplicated code had started to drift apart when
modifications made in one project where not ported to others. All
changes have now been consolidated and when necessary existing tests
have been refactored to account for the differences.

The MVC namespace and the MVC Java config now allow configuring
CallableProcessingInterceptor and DeferredResultProcessingInterceptor
instances.

The MVC Java config method to implement is
WebMvcConfigurer.configureAsyncSupport(AsyncSupportConfigurer)
The MVC namespace element is:
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:async-support default-timeout="2500" task-executor="myExecutor" />
</mvc:annotation-driven>

The MVC Java config and the MVC namespace now support options to
configure content negotiation. By default both support checking path
extensions first and the "Accept" header second. For path extensions
.json, .xml, .atom, and .rss are recognized out of the box if the
Jackson, JAXB2, or Rome libraries are available. The ServletContext
and the Java Activation Framework may be used as fallback options
for path extension lookups.

This renaming more intuitively expresses the relationship between
subprojects and the JAR artifacts they produce.
Tracking history across these renames is possible, but it requires
use of the --follow flag to `git log`, for example
$ git log spring-aop/src/main/java/org/springframework/aop/Advisor.java
will show history up until the renaming event, where
$ git log --follow spring-aop/src/main/java/org/springframework/aop/Advisor.java
will show history for all changes to the file, before and after the
renaming.
