Before this change Consumes/ProducesRequestCondition shared a common
match method in the package private AbstractMediaTypeExpression. The
benefit, two lines of code, was negligible but was forcing each
condition into parsing the content type of the request body or
evaluating the content type for the response respectively.
This change removes the shared match method and brings it down into
each sub-class resulting in a performance improvement as well as in
simpler code including exception handling.

Prior to this commit, the `ResourceHttpMessageConverter` would support
all HTTP Range requests and `MethodProcessors` would "wrap" controller
handler return values with a `HttpRangeResource` to support that use
case in Controllers.
This commit refactors that support in several ways:
* a new ResourceRegion class has been introduced
* a new, separate, ResourceRegionHttpMessageConverter handles the HTTP
range use cases when serving static resources with the
ResourceHttpRequestHandler
* the support of HTTP range requests on Controller handlers has been
removed until a better solution is found
Issue: SPR-14221, SPR-13834
Resources are now retrieved using the application context in order to
support natively non-classpath locations like /WEB-INF/...
As a consequence of this refactoring, ScriptTemplateView#createClassLoader()
protected method as been removed, since it did not make sense anymore with
this new resource loading implementation.
Issue: SPR-14210
Prior to this commit, HTTP Range requests were only supported by the
ResourceHttpRequestHandler when serving static resources.
This commit improves the ResourceHttpMessageConverter that
now supports partial writes of Resources.
For this, the `HttpEntityMethodProcessor` and
`RequestResponseBodyMethodProcessor` now wrap resources with HTTP
range information in a `HttpRangeResource`, if necessary. The
message converter handle those types and knows how to handle partial
writes.
Controller methods can now handle Range requests for
return types that extend Resource or HttpEntity:
@RequestMapping("/example/video.mp4")
public Resource handler() { }
@RequestMapping("/example/video.mp4")
public HttpEntity<Resource> handler() { }

Just like SPR-13252 addressed this issue for the "Pragma" header, this
issue resets the HTTP 1.0 "Expires" header.
When such a header has been set (by a filter, for example) and HTTP
caching has been configured at the WebContentGenerator, this header
value is reset to "". In this case, "Cache-Control" and "Expires" might
have inconsistent values and we consider that the HTTP caching
configuration should take precedence.
Depending on the servlet container chosen to deploy the application,
this might result in empty "" header values or no header set at all.
Issue: SPR-14053
The DeferredResult~ and the ResponseBodyEmitterReturnValueHandler now
each expose an adapter mechanism for plugging in other async return
value types. As a result the ListenableFutureReturnValueHandler and
CompletionStageReturnValueHandler are no longer needed and are now
deprecated.
