Introduces getBeanProvider(Class) and getBeanProvider(ResolvableType), also narrowing getBean(String, Class) and isTypeMatch(String, Class) to a non-null Class argument and enriching NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException with a full ResolvableType. In addition, ObjectProvider supports iterable/stream access for collection-style resolution of multiple matching beans now, and collection injection falls back to an empty collection in a single-constructor case with non-null arguments.

Provides a non-null guarantee for MethodMatcher's targetClass argument and strict separation between IntroductionAwareMethodMatcher and regular MethodMatcher, enabling DefaultAdvisorChainFactory to defer its IntroductionAdvisor determination until encountering an actual IntroductionAwareMethodMatcher (even behind union/intersection).
Issue: SPR-17068
Introduces a configure method pattern for Supplier-style configuration and a common SingletonSupplier decorator for method reference suppliers. Also declares jcache.config and jcache.interceptor for non-null conventions.
Issue: SPR-17021
Allows for skipping the now-deprecated postProcessPropertyValues callback with its expensive PropertyDescriptor retrieval requirement. RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor (which is dependent on postProcessPropertyValues) and the @Required annotation itself are also deprecated now: in favor of constructor injection (or afterPropertiesSet).

Polish a few issue identified when adding checkstyle to the
build. Although checkstyle is not enforcing rules on tests,
these are a few minor changes that are still worth making.
Issue: SPR-16968
Includes efficient check for same ClassLoader in ClassUtils.isVisible, efficient MethodMatchers check for IntroductionAwareMethodMatcher, and supertype method resolution in MethodMapTransactionAttributeSource.

This commit introduces a deferred initialization of the declared beans
in order to make it possible to access to the environment (and even
to the context for advanced use-cases) in the beans { } Kotlin DSL.

Spring's CGLIB fork is patched with local copies of affected files here, introducing the notion of a "contextClass" (e.g. the proxy superclass) which gets passed through to ReflectUtils.defineClass for delegating to MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass eventually, against a privateLookupIn(contextClass) lookup context on JDK 9/10/11.
Issue: SPR-15859
This commit allows several DeferredImportSelector instances to be
grouped and managed in a centralized fashion. This typically allows
different instances to provide a consistent ordered set of imports to
apply.
