In several places in the spring-webmvc module, URL patterns / objects
relationships are kept in `HashMap`s. When matching with actual URLs,
the algorithm uses a pattern comparator to sort the matching patterns
and select the most specific. But the underlying collection
implementation does not keep the original order which can lead to
inconsistencies.
This commit changes the underlying collection implementation to
`LinkedHashmap`s, in order to keep the insert order if the comparator
does not reorder entries.

Before this change the compilation of a method reference or property/field
access was not properly cleaning up the stack if compilation meant
calling a static method or accessing a static field. In these cases there
is no need for a target object on the stack and it should be removed if
present. For a simple expression it is harmless since the end result of
the expression is the thing on the top of the stack, but for nested
expressions if the inner expression suffered this issue, the outer
expression can find itself operating on the wrong element.
The particular issue covered the case of a static field access but this
fix (and associated tests) cover static method, property and field access.

Prior to this change, the resource handling FixedVersionStrategy would
be applied on all links that match the configured pattern. This is
problematic for relative links and can lead to rewritten links such as
"/fixedversion/../css/main.css" which breaks.
This commit prevents that Strategy from being applied to such links.
Of course, one should avoid to use that VersionStrategy with relative
links, but this change aims at not breaking existing links even if it
means not prefixing the version as expected.

When the plus operator is used between strings in a SpEL
expression and that expression is compiled, it is
important to include a cast if computation of any of
the operands isn't obviously leaving strings on the
stack. Likewise if the stack contents are known to
be strings, a cast should not be included.
