Specifically, read and write methods are allowed to express property types with superclass/subclass relationships in both directions now.

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
(cherry picked from commit 242ecdc)
Since @Bean methods are never used with externally specified constructor argument values but rather just with autowiring, the non-lenient constructor resolution mode is appropriate in case of an overloaded @Bean method, not performing any type difference weight checks. This change includes a refinement of Spring's existing non-lenient constructor resolution (which needs to be explicitly turned on and is therefore not well tested), narrowing the conditions for the ambiguity check (only in case of the same number of arguments and not for overridden methods).

Update TypeConverterDelegate to bypass conversion when the target type
is Object.class. Prior to this commit converting a single element array
to an Object would result in the element being returned, rather than
the array itself.

Also using ClassUtils.forName in AutowireUtils now in order to accept all common class name formats.
Issue: SPR-11034
(cherry picked from commit 8c1767e)
XML-defined arguments values are initially turned into TypedStringValue wrappers. If we encounter an unresolved argument, we need to unwrap such a TypedStringValue and then try to treat its content as a class name.
Issue: SPR-11034
Optimized getTypeForFactoryMethod's implementation for non-generic factory methods, and reduced calls to getResolvedFactoryMethod in order to avoid repeated synchronization. Derived from work around SPR-11034.
We're consistently resolving class names now, and the entire algorithm moved from GenericTypeResolver to the internal AutowireUtils helper in the bean factory package.
Issue: SPR-10411
(cherry picked from commit 8b1927f)
Also internally renaming SimpleNonIndexedPropertyDescriptor to SimplePropertyDescriptor and preferring direct field access wherever possible.
Issue: SPR-10862
This change should be the final piece in the puzzle to let SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor's predictBeanType predict a FactoryBean-produced type, effectively as a semantic alternative to its postProcessBeforeInstantiation-related role.
Issue: SPR-10517
(cherry picked from commit bc3e585)
Use LinkedHashMaps/Sets wherever exposed to users, and code tests defensively in terms of expected Map/Set ordering. Otherwise, there'll be runtime order differences between JDK 7 and JDK 8 due to internal HashMap/Set implementation differences.

(cherry picked from commit 9c09a0a)
In particular, avoid accidental usage of ASM for core JDK types - which will fail in case of a new bytecode version in the JDK, even if the application itself has been compiled with an earlier bytecode target.
Issue: SPR-10292
(cherry picked from commit d3a4068)
Prior to this change, CallbacksSecurityTests#testContainerPrivileges was
@Ignored because it caused the build to fail under Gradle. After some
analysis, the root cause was determined to be the fact that (a) a
restrictive SecurityManager is active during the running of this test,
and (b), Gradle intercepts System.out and routes it through its internal
LogBack-based logging system. LogBack requires a call to
Class#getClassLoader when handling logging statements, and the
SecurityManager disallows this call, thus raising the error that fails
the build.
This commit solves the problem by eliminating the System.out.println
call in question and removing the @Ignore annotation from the test. The
console output was diagnostic in nature anyway, and not required for the
successful execution of the test's assertions.
Issue: SPR-10074
Update AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.getTypeForFactoryBean to
check AbstractBeanDefinition.hasBeanClass() before calling
getBeanClass(). The protects against a 'Bean class name [<name>] has
not been resolved into an actual Class' IllegalStateException.
