This commit improves the reference document to better reflect the
different between `*` or `{name}` on one side, and `**` or `{*path}` on
the other.
The former patterns only consider a single path segment and its content,
while the latter variants consider zero or more path segments. This
explains why `/test/{*path}` can match `/test`.

Previous commit 81ea35c726 in main for 7.0
should have been applied in 6.2.x first for 6.2.1.
This commit applies the changes in 6.2.x as intended,
effective as of 6.2.13.
Closes gh-33974
Prior to this commit, the `PathPattern` and `PathPatternParser` would
allow multiple-segments matching and capturing with the following:
* "/files/**" (matching 0-N segments until the end)
* "/files/{*path}" (matching 0-N segments until the end and capturing
the value as the "path" variable)
This would be only allowed as the last path element in the pattern and
the parser would reject other combinations.
This commit expands the support and allows multiple segments matching at
the beginning of the path:
* "/**/index.html" (matching 0-N segments from the start)
* "/{*path}/index.html" (matching 0-N segments until the end and capturing
the value as the "path" variable)
This does come with additional restrictions:
1. "/files/**/file.txt" and "/files/{*path}/file.txt" are invalid,
as multiple segment matching is not allowed in the middle of the
pattern.
2. "/{*path}/files/**" is not allowed, as a single "{*path}" or "/**"
element is allowed in a pattern
3. "/{*path}/{folder}/file.txt" "/**/{folder:[a-z]+}/file.txt" are
invalid because only a literal pattern is allowed right after
multiple segments path elements.

Since Joda-Time support was removed in Spring Framework 6.0, this commit
removes obsolete mentions of Joda-Time in the reference guide and Javadoc.
See gh-27426
Closes gh-33881
This commit removes all references to the Resin Servlet container, as it
is not supported as of Spring Framework 6.0 because we require a
JakartaEE baseline.
Closes gh-33772
This commit fixes the issue where the regex pattern in the reference documentation
was not rendering correctly for the `/projects/{project:[a-z]+}/versions` mapping.
Closes gh-33766
Since we now use asciidoctor-tabs instead of spring-asciidoctor-backends,
we no longer need the `role="primary"` and `role="secondary"` attributes
for tab groups.
Closes gh-33506
On the client side, supports `name=value` pairs. Placeholders in values
are resolved by the `embeddedValueResolver`.
On the server side, additionally supports `name` and `!name` syntax.
