This commit refactors HttpMethod from a Java enum into a class. The
underlying reason being that HTTP methods are not enumerable, but
instead an open range and not limited to the predefined values in the
specifications.

Prior to this commit, ServerResponse headers would only be written if
there were no existing headers with the same name, thus making it
impossible to overwrite existing headers.
With the changes in this commit, headers are always written.
Closes gh-27741
The current implementation suggests that the request's headers are not
expected to change. Hence, it's not necessary to copy them.
Furthermore, it might be costly to do so if there are many headers.
Instead, cache only the request's header names for method getHeaderNames.
Methods getHeader and getHeaders delegate to the respective methods of
request if the header name is not in FORWARDED_HEADER_NAMES. Otherwise,
they return null or an empty Enumeration respectively.

Prior to this commit, the SpEL relational operators for comparison
would have the following problem:
* their implementation would claim that incompatible types
could be compared and later fail during comparison
* not delegate the comparison to the actual `TypeComparator`
implementation but rely on operator specifics
This commit ensures that the `TypeComparator` implementation is used for
both `canCompare` and `compare` calls in the operators.

Name transformation is delegated to Introspector#decapitalize, which
states "but in the (unusual) special case when there is more than one
character and both the first and second characters are upper case, we
leave it alone.". This commit clarifies this behavior.
See gh-2030
The default documentation does not mention xxx*yyy pattern matching,
which is, however, supported by PatternMatchUtils. Such a pattern
can be useful for matching nested properties in all elements of a
collection, e.g. property[*].nestedProperty.

This commit makes several changes to MimeType and MediaType
related to the topic of specificity.
This commit deprecates the MimeType and MediaType Comparators.
Comparators require a transitive relationship, and the desired order for
these types is not transitive (see #27488).
Instead, this commit introduces two new MimeType methods: isMoreSpecific
and isLessSpecific, both of which return booleans. MediaType overrides
these methods to include the quality factor (q) in the comparison.
All MediaType sorting methods have been deprecated in favor of
MimeTypeUtils::sortBySpecificity. This sorting method now uses
MimeType::isLessSpecific in combination a bubble sort algorithm (which
does not require a transitive compare function).
Closes gh-27580
