Various DefaultListableBeanFactory clarifications

* getBeanDefinitionNames defensively returns a copy of the bean definition names array.
* copyConfigurationFrom provides an independent AutowireCandidateResolver instance and copies a ConversionService and dependency comparator configuration as well.
* findAutowireCandidates only considers a self reference fallback for direct dependency declarations, not as a collection element.
