Sam Brannen ff104b6de0 Look up @Component stereotype names using @AliasFor semantics
Although gh-20615 introduced the use of @AliasFor for @Component(value) in the built-in
stereotype annotations (@Service, @Controller, @Repository, @Configuration, and
@RestController), prior to this commit the framework did not actually rely on @AliasFor
support when looking up a component name via stereotype annotations. Rather, the
framework had custom annotation parsing logic in
AnnotationBeanNameGenerator#determineBeanNameFromAnnotation() which effectively ignored
explicit annotation attribute overrides configured via @AliasFor.

This commit revises AnnotationBeanNameGenerator#determineBeanNameFromAnnotation() so that
it first looks up @Component stereotype names using @AliasFor semantics before falling
back to the "convention-based" component name lookup strategy.

Consequently, the name of the annotation attribute that is used to specify the bean name
is no longer required to be `value`, and custom stereotype annotations can now declare an
attribute with a different name (such as `name`) and annotate that attribute with
`@AliasFor(annotation = Component.class, attribute = "value")`.

Closes gh-31089
