This commit adds support for primitive default values for
BeanUtils.instantiateClass arguments in Java in order to provide
a consistent behavior in both Java and Kotlin languages.
Closes gh-22531
The xml parser does not fill in defaults provided in the XSD when
validation is disabled. As a result, attributes like default-lazy-init
will not receive the value "default" but an empty string.
With this commit, BeanDefinitionParserDelegate now takes this into
account, checking default values against empty string as well as
"default".
As a consequence, default-lazy-init attribute should now work correctly
even when the XSD validation is disabled.
Issue: SPR-8335
Introduces getBeanProvider(Class) and getBeanProvider(ResolvableType), also narrowing getBean(String, Class) and isTypeMatch(String, Class) to a non-null Class argument and enriching NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException with a full ResolvableType. In addition, ObjectProvider supports iterable/stream access for collection-style resolution of multiple matching beans now, and collection injection falls back to an empty collection in a single-constructor case with non-null arguments.

Issue: SPR-15338
Allows for skipping the now-deprecated postProcessPropertyValues callback with its expensive PropertyDescriptor retrieval requirement. RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor (which is dependent on postProcessPropertyValues) and the @Required annotation itself are also deprecated now: in favor of constructor injection (or afterPropertiesSet).

Prior to this commit, a YAML entry that define an empty array value was
lost. This commit makes sure to flag it with an empty String, which
corresponds as an empty comma separated list of entries in the
properties format.
Issue: SPR-16769
Includes efficient check for same ClassLoader in ClassUtils.isVisible, efficient MethodMatchers check for IntroductionAwareMethodMatcher, and supertype method resolution in MethodMapTransactionAttributeSource.
Issue: SPR-16723
Spring's CGLIB fork is patched with local copies of affected files here, introducing the notion of a "contextClass" (e.g. the proxy superclass) which gets passed through to ReflectUtils.defineClass for delegating to MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass eventually, against a privateLookupIn(contextClass) lookup context on JDK 9/10/11.
Issue: SPR-15859
Includes unified detection of Kotlin's optional parameters in MethodParameter.isOptional(), reduces BeanUtils.findPrimaryConstructor to Kotlin semantics (for reuse in AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor), and finally introduces a common KotlinDetector delegate with an isKotlinType(Class) check.
