Prior to this commit, we could only contribute `RuntimeHints` through
two mechanisms:
* `AotContributingBeanFactoryPostProcessor`, consdering the entire
`BeanFactory` and designed for contributing both code and hints.
* `AotContributingBeanPostProcessor`, consdering beans one by one, but
also designed for contributing both code and hints.
There are cases where libraries and applications want to contribute
`RuntimeHints` only, in a more static fashion: a dependency being
present, or a piece of infrastructure being considered by the
application context are good enough signals to contribute hints about
resources or reflection.
This commit adds the `RuntimeHintsRegistrar` contract for these cases.
Implementations can be declared as `spring.factories` and they will be
processed as soon as they're detected on the classpath. They can also be
declared with `@ImportRuntimeHints` and they will be processed if the
annotated bean definition is considered in the application context.
This annotation should be mainly used on configuration classes and on
bean methods.
```
@Configuration
@ImportRuntimeHints(CustomRuntimeHintsRegistrar.class)
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
@ImportRuntimeHints(OtherRuntimeHintsRegistrar.class)
public MyBean myBean() {
//...
}
}
```

This commit removes Spring's custom NestedIOException and replaces its
usage with the standard IOException which has supported a root cause
since Java 6.
Closes gh-28198
With a Java 8 baseline in place for quite some time now, it no longer
makes sense to refer to features such as annotations as "Java 5
annotations".
This commit also removes old `Tiger*Tests` classes, thereby avoiding
duplicate execution of various tests.
This commit introduces a way to process a GenericApplicationContext
ahead of time. Components that can contribute in that phase are
invoked, and their contributions are recorded in the
GeneratedTypeContext.
This commit also expands BeanFactoryContribution so that it can exclude
bean definitions that are no longer required.
Closes gh-28150
This commit adds a way to refresh a GenericApplicationContext for ahead
of time processing: refreshForAotProcessing() processes the bean factory
up to a point where it is about to create bean instances.
MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor implementations are the only bean
post processors that are invoked during this phase.
Closes gh-28065
This commit adds a way for a BeanFactoryPostProcessor to participate to
AOT optimizations by contributing code that replaces its runtime
behaviour.
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor does implement this new interface and
computes a mapping of the ImportAware configuration classes. The mapping
is generated for latter reuse by ImportAwareAotBeanPostProcessor.
Closes gh-2811
Before this commit, CronField.Type::rollForward added temporal units
to reach the higher order field. This caused issues with DST, where
the added amount of hours was either too small or too large.
This commit refactors the implementation so that it now adds one to the
higher order field, and reset the current field to the minimum value.
Closes gh-28095
Prior to this commit, the QuartzCronField::weekdayNearestTo would elapse
until the next month before checking if the current day matched.
After this commit, the current day is checked before we elapse until
the next month.
Closes gh-27966
