As of 4.3.13 MappingJackson2MessageConverter uses the MethodParameter
hint to obtain generic type information but it needs to be careful, and
nest one level, if the target parameter type has a Message wrapper.

After this commit DefaultUserDestinationResolves no longer looks at
whether AntPathMatcher is configured with "." as separator and rather
expects to be explicitly told whether to keep the leading slash in
translated destinations which actually depends on what the message
broker supports (e.g. RabbitMQ "/", Artemis ".") or how it is
configured (simple broker could be either way).
There is also a minor improvement in SimpMessagingTemplate to ensure
user destinations are correctly formed based on what the
DefaultUserDestinationResolver expects. When using "." as separtor it
allows sending messages to "queue.q1" rather than "/queue.q1".

SimpMessageTypeMessageCondition was lenient in matching the message
type, essentially matching on any non-null message type with an exact
match given a preference only in comparing mulitple matches.
This commit modifies matching logic to look for an exact match.

Also, ChannelRegistration.setInterceptors is deprecated now: in favor of a fluently named interceptors(...) method which is documented to add the given interceptors to the channel's current list.

This commit introduces the following changes.
1) It adds a new Spring @NonNull annotation which allows to apply
@NonNullApi semantic on a specific element, like @Nullable does.
Combined with @Nullable, it allows partial null-safety support when
package granularity is too broad.
2) @Nullable and @NonNull can apply to ElementType.TYPE_USE in order
to be used on generic type arguments (SPR-15942).
3) Annotations does not apply to ElementType.TYPE_PARAMETER anymore
since it is not supported yet (applicability for such use case is
controversial and need to be discussed).
4) @NonNullApi does not apply to ElementType.FIELD anymore since in a
lot of use cases (private, protected) it is not part for the public API
+ its usage should remain opt-in. A dedicated @NonNullFields annotation
has been added in order to set fields default to non-nullable.
5) Updated Javadoc and reference documentation.

Bean-derived null values may still get passed into bean properties and injection points but only if those are declared as non-required. Note that getBean will never return null; a manual bean.equals(null) / "null".equals(bean.toString()) check identifies expected null values now. This will only ever happen with custom FactoryBeans or factory methods returning null - and since all common cases are handled by autowiring or bean property values in bean definitions, there should be no need to ever manually check for such a null value received from getBean.
Issue: SPR-15829
This commit ensure that null-safety is consistent between
getters and setters in order to be able to provide beans
with properties with a common type when type safety is
taken in account like with Kotlin.
It also add a few missing property level @Nullable
annotations.

This commits extends nullability declarations to the field level, formalizing the interaction between methods and their underlying fields and therefore avoiding any nullability mismatch.
