Since SPR-14522, the web reactive framework supports checkNotModified
features. This commit aligns the existing MVC infrastructure with
web reactive's behavior.
Code duplication has been removed from `HttpEntityMethodProcessor`
but the Servlet 2.5 baseline is still respected.

This commit documents the regexp support in `AntPathMatcher` when
matching for URL patterns. This support is also mentioned in places
where developers can register patterns for ViewControllers or resource
handlers.

This is a follow-up on commit fe4046 relaxing the expectation that a
ServletContext is present. Instead we check defensively and fall back
on PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy which can use JAF.
Issue: SPR-14577
Create an explicit heartbeat task with an experiration flag so that
it can be cancelled reliably vs relying on the ScheduledFutureTask
cancel method which may return true even if the task is already
running.
Issue: SPR-14356
This change adds support for a target type in JsonPath assertions in
Spring MVC Test.
The existing assertValue(String expression, Object expectedValue)
transparently falls back on using an alternative JsonPath API that
allows specifying the target type to coerce to.
There is also a new overloaded method
assertValue(String expression, Matcher<T> matcher, Class<T> targetType)
for use with Hamcrest matchers where the target type can be specified.

(cherry picked from commit 7fdb892)
HttpEntityMethodProcessor should not throw IllegalArgumentExceptions for
invalid If-None-Match headers.
For those cases, this commit makes sure that both
`HttpEntityMethodProcessor` and `ServletWebRequest` have a consistent
behavior and stop processing the request as conditional and leave the
handler handle it.
Issue: SPR-14559
This commit adds support for HTTP header field parameters encoding, as
described in RFC5987.
Note that the default implementation still relies on US-ASCII encoding,
as the latest rfc7230 Section 3.2.4 says that:
> Newly defined header fields SHOULD limit their field values to
US-ASCII octets
