Commit 5648fbfc31 introduced a
compile-time dependency on spring-beans-groovy in the spring-context
module which breaks the build on the CI server since the Animal Sniffer
task cannot find a JAR file for spring-beans-groovy.
This commit reverts that change so that the "sniffer" task once again
succeeds.
Prior to this commit, the `getAnnotation()` method in `TypeDescriptor`
only supported a single level of meta-annotations. In other words, the
annotation hierarchy would not be exhaustively searched.
This commit provides support for arbitrary levels of meta-annotations
in `TypeDescriptor` by delegating to `AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation()`
within `TypeDescriptor.getAnnotation()`.

Prior to this commit, AntPathMatcher would not correctly combine a path
that ends with a separator with a path that starts with a separator.
For example, `/foo/` + `/bar` combined into `/foo//bar`.
Specifically, this commit:
- Removes the duplicated separator in combined paths
- Improves RequestMappingInfo's toString() representation
- Fixes Javadoc formatting in AntPathMatcher
- Polishes AntPathMatcherTests
- Polishes Javadoc in AbstractRequestCondition

This commit introduces a messaging.converter.MessageConverter that
marshals to/from XML using the abstractions provided in the OXM module.
Issue: SPR-12726
Prior to this change, the `UrlTag` would simply append the remote
context and the path value in case of a context relative URL.
The following code snippet would output "//foo":
```
<spring:url value="/foo" context="/" />
```
This change now removes trailing slashes in remote context to avoid
this.

Making sure that `GenericApplicationListenerAdapter` implements
`SmartApplicationListener` again as older code may try to cast an
instance to `SmartApplicationListener`.

This commit picks up where SPR-11483 left off, with the goal of
eliminating all unnecessary inspection of core JDK annotations in
Spring's annotation search algorithms in AnnotatedElementUtils and
AnnotationMetadataReadingVisitor.
Issue: SPR-12989
- Methods which search for a specific annotation now properly ensure
that the sought annotation was actually found.
- Both the "get" and the "find" search algorithms no longer needlessly
traverse meta-annotation hierarchies twice.
- Both the "get" and the "find" search algorithms now properly
increment the metaDepth when recursively searching within the
meta-annotation hierarchy.
- Redesigned getMetaAnnotationTypes() so that it doesn't needlessly
search irrelevant annotations.
- Documented and tested hasMetaAnnotationTypes().
- Documented isAnnotated().
