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).

Includes an extension of SmartValidator for candidate value validation, as well as nullability refinements in Validator and BindingResult.

Issue: SPR-16854
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.

Includes a clarification of ThreadPoolExecutor configuration options and a note on early AsyncConfigurer initialization.

Issue: SPR-16945
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
Reorganize imports to ensure consistent ordering. This commit also
expands any `.*` static imports in favor of using fully-qualified
method references.
Issue: SPR-16968
Update all classes so that inner classes are always last. Also
ensure that utility classes are always final and have a private
constructor and make exceptions final whenever possible.

After the Groovy 2.5 upgrade, the Spring Framework build on JDK9 hit
GROOVY-8631. Adding the relevant `jax-api` dependency to the module
didn't fix this issue. The Groovy release notes mention the use of the
`--add-modules` JVM flag, but this is not an option for this build which
should run on JDK8 -> JDK11.
This commit changes the dependency from `groovy-all` to more focused
dependencies on Groovy in the `spring-beans` and `spring-context`
modules. This change seems to avoid the automatic loading of Groovy
enhancements to JAXB (shipped with `groovy-xml`).
