Prior to this commit conversion between like types would often result in
a copy of the object. This can be problematic in the case of large byte
arrays and objects that do not have a default constructor.
The ConversionService SPI now includes canBypassConvert methods that can
be used to deduce when conversion is not needed. Several existing
converters have been updated to ensure they only apply when source and
target types differ.
This change introduces new methods to the ConversionService that will
break existing implementations. However, it anticipated that most users
are consuming the ConversionService interface rather then extending it.
