This commit also updates the Javadoc for the SpringExtension and
@SpringExtensionConfig to point out that the SpringExtension always
uses a test-class scoped ExtensionContext if
@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS) semantics are in effect.

In commit 9711db787e, we introduced support for disabling test
application context pausing via a Spring property or JVM system
property, as follows.
-Dspring.test.context.cache.pause=never
However, users may actually be interested in keeping the pausing
feature enabled if contexts are not paused unnecessarily.
To address that, this commit introduces a new
PauseMode.ON_CONTEXT_SWITCH enum constant which is now used by default
in the DefaultContextCache.
With this new pause mode, an unused application context will no longer
be paused immediately. Instead, an unused application context will be
paused lazily the first time a different context is retrieved from or
stored in the ContextCache. This effectively means that an unused
context will not be paused at all if the next test class uses the same
context.
Although ON_CONTEXT_SWITCH is the now the default pause mode, users
still have the option to enable context pausing for all usage scenarios
(not only context switches) by setting the Spring property or JVM
system property to ALWAYS (case insensitive) — for example:
-Dspring.test.context.cache.pause=always
This commit also introduces a dedicated "Context Pausing" section in
the reference manual.

Spring Framework 7.0 introduced support for pausing inactive
application contexts between test classes and restarting them once they
are needed again. If pausing and restarting are fast, this feature does
not have a negative impact on test suites.
However, if the pausing or restarting of certain Lifecycle components
in the application context is slow, that can have a negative impact on
the duration of the overall test suite.
In gh-36044, we hope to find a way to avoid unnecessarily pausing an
application context after a test class if the same context is used by
the next test class that is run. That should help reduce the risk of a
negative impact caused by the pause/restart feature; however, for
certain scenarios that may not be enough. In light of that, this commit
introduces a mechanism for completely disabling the pausing feature via
a Spring property or JVM system property, as follows.
-Dspring.test.context.cache.pause=never

This commit revises the Integration Testing chapter to reference the
"Spring Framework Artifacts" wiki page instead of the nonexistent
"Dependency Management" section of the reference manual.

Although @PersistenceContext and @PersistenceUnit are still not
supported in tests running in AOT mode, as of Spring Framework 7.0,
developers can inject an EntityManager or EntityManagerFactory into
tests using @Autowired instead of @PersistenceContext and
@PersistenceUnit, respectively.

Prior to this commit, the BeanOverrideBeanFactoryPostProcessor rejected
any attempt to override a non-singleton bean; however, due to interest
from the community, we have decided to provide support for overriding
non-singleton beans via the Bean Override mechanism — for example, when
using @MockitoBean, @MockitoSpyBean, and @TestBean.
With this commit, we now support Bean Overrides for non-singletons: for
standard JVM runtimes as well as AOT processing and AOT runtimes. This
commit also documents that non-singletons will effectively be converted
to singletons when overridden and logs a warning similar to the
following.
WARN: BeanOverrideBeanFactoryPostProcessor - Converting 'prototype' scoped bean definition 'myBean' to a singleton.

Since the introduction of the Spring TestContext Framework in 2007,
application contexts have always been stored in the context cache in a
"running" state. However, leaving a context running means that
components in the context may continue to run in the background. For
example, JMS listeners may continue to consume messages from a queue;
scheduled tasks may continue to perform active work, etc.; and this can
lead to issues within a test suite.
To address such issues, this commit introduces built-in support for
pausing application contexts when they are not in use and restarting
them if they are needed again.
Specifically, the TestContextManager now marks a test's application
context as "unused" after execution of the test class has ended, and
the underlying ContextCache then "stops" the application context if no
other test class is currently using the context. When a
TestExecutionListener later attempts to obtain a paused application
context -- for example, for a subsequent test class that shares the
same application context -- the ContextCache ensures that context is
restarted before returning it.
