Rework the reference documentation to better distinguish the differences
between @Bean methods used in @Comonent vs @Configuration classes. The
'Using the @Bean annotation' section now only covers concepts applicable
when using @Bean methods in @Configuration _or_ @Component classes.
Information only applicable to @Configuration classes has been moved to
a new 'Using the @Configuration annotation' section.
An additional sidebar section attempts to explain the differences
between the two approaches.

Issue: SPR-10209
Allow @Cachable, @CachePut and equivalent XML configuration to provide
a SpEL expression that can be used to veto putting an item into the
cache. Unlike 'condition' the 'unless' parameter is evaluated after
the method has been called and can therefore reference the #result.
For example:
@Cacheable(value="book",
condition="#name.length < 32",
unless="#result.hardback")
This commit also allows #result to be referenced from @CacheEvict
expressions as long as 'beforeInvocation' is false.

This commit improves the "Spring Test Dependencies" section of the 3.2
migration guide by correctly explaining that Hamcrest Core is now a
required transitive dependency of JUnit.
Issue: SPR-10251
This commit fixes a typo in the "New Features and Enhancements in Spring
Framework 3.2" chapter of the reference manual. Specifically,
ContentNegotiationStrategy is now spelled correctly.
The Validation chapter now includes information on combining JSR-303
Bean Validation with additional Spring Validator's that don't require
the use of annotations.
