Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Introduce Date-to-Instant and Instant-to-Date converters
In order to avoid unnecessary use of reflection and to simplify native
image deployments, this commit introduces explicit support for
automatic conversions from java.util.Date to java.time.Instant and vice
versa.
To achieve that, this commit introduces an InstantToDateConverter and a
DateToInstantConverter and registers them automatically in
DefaultConversionService.
See gh-35156
Closes gh-35175

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Register runtime hints for Instant-to-Timestamp
conversion
If an application depends on automatic type conversion from
java.time.Instant to java.sql.Timestamp, the ObjectToObjectConverter
performs the conversion based on convention, by using reflection to
invoke Timestamp.from(Instant).
However, when running in a native image a user needs to explicitly
register runtime hints for that particular use of reflection.
To assist users who are running their applications in a native image,
this commit automatically registers the necessary runtime hints for
Timestamp.from(Instant) so that users do not have to.
See gh-35175
Closes gh-35156
