Prior to this commit, the reference manual only documented indexing
support for arrays, lists, and maps.
This commit improves the overall documentation for SpEL's property
navigation and indexing support and introduces additional documentation
for indexing into Strings and Objects.

Since the Spring Expression Language does not actually support local
variables in expressions, this commit deprecates all public APIs
related to local variables in ExpressionState (namely, the two
enterScope(...) variants that accept local variable data,
setLocalVariable(), and lookupLocalVariable()).
In addition, we no longer invoke `state.enterScope("index", ...)` in
the Projection and Selection AST nodes since the $index local variable
was never accessible within expressions anyway.
See gh-23202
Closes gh-32004
To improve consistency and avoid confusion regarding primitive types
and their wrapper types, this commit ensures that we always use class
literals for primitive types.
For example, instead of using the `Void.TYPE` constant, we now
consistently use `void.class`.
Prior to this commit, SpEL's Indexer incorrectly requested conversion
to wrappers instead of primitives when setting an element in a
primitive array.
This commit addresses this by requesting primitive conversion -- for
example, conversion to `int.class` instead of `Integer.class` when
setting a value in an `int[]` array.
For greater clarity, this commit also switches from using `TYPE`
constants in wrapper classes to primitive class literals -- for
example, from `Integer.TYPE` to `int.class`.
Closes gh-32147
Since SpEL is no longer "in progress", this commit removes the obsolete
InProgressTests class and moves all non-duplicated test cases to other
test classes.
