To handle method validation errors in ResponseEntityExceptionHandler,
MethodValidationException and associated types should not depend on
Bean Validation. To that effect:
1. MethodValidationResult and ParameterValidationResult no longer make
the underlying ConstraintViolation set available, and instead expose
only the adapted validation errors (MessageSourceResolvable, Errors),
analogous to what SpringValidatorAdapter does. And likewise
MethodValidationException no longer extends ConstraintViolationException.
2. MethodValidationPostProcessor has a new property
adaptConstraintViolations to decide whether to simply raise
ConstraintViolationException, or otherwise to adapt the ConstraintViolations
and raise MethodValidationException instead, with the former is the default
for compatibility.
3. As a result, the MethodValidator contract can now expose methods that
return MethodValidationResult, which provided more flexibility for handling,
and it allows MethodValidationAdapter to implement MethodValidator directly.
4. Update Javadoc in method validation classes to reflect this shift, and
use terminology consistent with Spring validation in classes without an
explicit dependency on Bean Validation.
