Update the MVC reference documentation with the new concepts and classes
introduced in Spring 4.0
This reverts commit 6f874d734a2a38431c74444894f54797ecf74933.
As a benefit over the "shared" flag, this allows for sharing a specific CacheManager in a system with potentially multiple CacheManagers involved, and it supports controlled shutdown by the EhCacheManagerFactoryBean that actually created the CacheManager.

- Completed Javadoc for MetaAnnotationUtils.
- Added Javadoc notes to multiple annotations in the TCF, pointing out
which annotations can be used as meta-annotations.
Issue: SPR-11109
Fix a potential race condition with GenericMessagingTemplate's inner
TemporaryReplyChannel class.
Prior to this commit the `hasReceived` member variable was read after
calling `replyLatch.countDown()`.
Issue: SPR-11206
This commit fixes a bug introduced in the last commit.
ServletTestExecutionListener (STEL) now tracks whether it has already
populated the RequestContextHolder.
Issue: SPR-11144
The previous commit for issue SPR-11144 revealed a bug in
ServletTestExecutionListener (STEL). Specifically, STEL acted on the
fact that the ApplicationContext for a given TestContext was an
instance of WebApplicationContext. This behavior could potentially
break test code from previous releases of the Spring Framework that
relied on a custom setup of the RequestAttributes in the
RequestContextHolder with a custom WebApplicationContext ContextLoader.
This commit addresses this issue by ensuring that STEL only comes into
play if the test class is annotated with @WebAppConfiguration (for
prepareTestInstance() and beforeTestMethod()) or if the TestContext
attribute named RESET_REQUEST_CONTEXT_HOLDER_ATTRIBUTE is set to
Boolean.TRUE (for afterTestMethod()).

Specifically, read and write methods are allowed to express property types with superclass/subclass relationships in both directions now.
Issue: SPR-11139
Specifically, if the current factory has Qualifier/ContextAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver set up, it is important to pass it on to ancestor factories to get consistent qualifier matching results.
Issue: SPR-10966
XStream 1.4.5 doesn't check a given ConverterLookup for a ConverterRegistry implementation anymore, so we have to manually perform that check and assignment.
Issue: SPR-11147
Our per-bean caching in AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor and co relies on unique bean names, so this change fixes potential cache mismatch problems occuring there.
Issue: SPR-11131
Prior to this commit, the ServletTestExecutionListener did not
overwrite RequestAttributes in the RequestContextHolder if the
ApplicationContext associated with the given TestContext was not a
WebApplicationContext; however, the ServletTestExecutionListener would
clear the RequestAttributes after every test method execution,
regardless of whether the context was a WebApplicationContext or not.
This behavior breaks backwards compatibility with integration tests
that managed the RequestAttributes in RequestContextHolder themselves.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a TestContext attribute
named RESET_REQUEST_CONTEXT_HOLDER_ATTRIBUTE in
ServletTestExecutionListener. This attribute is used internally within
ServletTestExecutionListener to ensure that the RequestContextHolder is
only cleared (i.e., reset) if the ServletTestExecutionListener actually
populated the RequestContextHolder.
