Prior to this commit, searching for classpath resources using the
"classpath*:" resource prefix did not find all applicable resources for
applications deployed as modules -- for example, when test classes and
resources are patched into the application module automatically by
Maven Surefire.
This affected component scanning -- for example, via [@]ComponentScan --
and PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver.getResources(String) in
general.
This commit addresses this by introducing first-class support for
scanning the module path when PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver's
getResources(String) method is invoked with a location pattern using
the "classpath*:" resource prefix. Specifically, getResources(String)
first searches all modules in the boot layer, excluding system modules.
It then searches the classpath using the existing Classloader-based
algorithm and returns the combined results.
