Prior to this commit, if MockServletContext was configured with a FileSystemResourceLoader, invocations of the following methods on a Microsoft Windows operating system resulted in an InvalidPathException if the supplied path contained a colon (such as "C:\\temp"). This is inconsistent with the behavior on non-Windows operating systems. In addition, for comparable errors resulting in an IOException, those methods (except getRealPath()) return null instead of throwing the exception. - getResourcePaths() - getResource() - getResourceAsStream() - getRealPath() This commit makes handling of InvalidPathException and IOException consistent for these methods: both exceptions now result in null be returned by these methods. Closes gh-23717
