Before this change the getHttpEntityType method in
HttpEntityMethodProcessor raised an ISE if the generic type cannot be
detected. That made sense for resolving a controller method argument
where the target body type is crucial. However for a return value
the generic type should not be required since we either have an
actual body or no body at all in which case it doesn't even matter.
This change relaxes the checks and defaults to Object.class for the
ResponseEntity generic type on the return value side.

Prior to this commit, the `HttpEntityMethodProcessor` would avoid
writing ETag/Last-Modified response headers before calling
`ServletWebRequest` to process conditional requests. This was done to
avoid duplicate response header values due to headers being already
written to the underlying servlet response.
This is still necessary for GET/HEAD requests, since this is properly
handled by `ServletWebRequest` for those cases. But
`HttpEntityMethodProcessor` should not make that decision for
PUT/PATCH/POST responses since developers are adding response headers on
purpose and should be in control of the situation — whereas
`ServletWebRequest` does not write those headers in those cases.

In order to simplify configuration for use cases involving @Bean where
only a bean name or aliases are supplied as an attribute, this commit
introduces a new 'value' attribute that is an @AliasFor 'name' in @Bean.

This commit overrides the `checkResource` implementation in
`ScriptTemplateView` in order to check if the template file resource is
available and if the resolver can then proceed with rendering the
template.

Rather than setting the status to 503 directly from the timeout
interceptor which no longer seems to work reliably with Servlet
containers like Jetty even performing an additional ERROR dispatch back
to the original URL, we know rather set the DeferredResult to an
AsyncTimeoutException, which results in a dispatch and standard
handling within Spring MVC. This should be a more reliable way of
dealing with timeouts.

Since SPR-14522, the web reactive framework supports checkNotModified
features. This commit aligns the existing MVC infrastructure with
web reactive's behavior.
Code duplication has been removed from `HttpEntityMethodProcessor`
but the Servlet 2.5 baseline is still respected.

This commit documents the regexp support in `AntPathMatcher` when
matching for URL patterns. This support is also mentioned in places
where developers can register patterns for ViewControllers or resource
handlers.

This is a follow-up on commit fe4046 relaxing the expectation that a
ServletContext is present. Instead we check defensively and fall back
on PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy which can use JAF.

HttpEntityMethodProcessor should not throw IllegalArgumentExceptions for
invalid If-None-Match headers.
For those cases, this commit makes sure that both
`HttpEntityMethodProcessor` and `ServletWebRequest` have a consistent
behavior and stop processing the request as conditional and leave the
handler handle it.

This commit also aligns ResourceUrlProvider's and RequestMappingInfo's UrlPathHelper setter/getter signatures.

Originally handleNoMatch looked for partial matches based on URL
pattern, HTTP method, consumes, produces, and params in that order
but without narrowing down the set of partial matches resulting in
potentially inaccruate response status codes
Commit 473de0 added an improvement to narrow the set with partial
matches for URL pattern and HTTP method matches.
This commit overhauls handleNoMatch so that the narrowing down of
matches happens at each stage resulting in more accurate error
reporting for request mappings with fine-grained conditions.
