When comparing multiple matching @RequestMapping's, the HTTP method
condition has the lowest precedence. It's mainly about ensuring an
explicit mapping wins over an implicit (i.e. no method) one.
As of 4.3 HTTP HEAD is handled automatically for controller methods
that match to GET. However an explicit mapping HTTP HEAD allows an
application to take control.
This commit ensures that for HTTP HEAD requests the HTTP method
condition is checked first which means that an explicit HEAD mapping
now trumps all other conditions.
Normally we look for the most specific matching @RequestMapping.
For HTTP HEAD we now look for the most specific match among
@RequestMapping methods with a HEAD mapping first.

This commit also fixes an issue in the HTTP client that used the
wrapper type instead of the element type. As a consequence, due
to type erasure, we now have to specify the type of the content
in DefaultHttpRequestBuilder#contentStream().
Even before this change SockJS sessions always cancelled the heartbeat
task first prior to sending messages. However when the heartbeat task
is already in progress, cancellation of it is not enough and we must
wait until the heartbeat is sent.
This commit adds a heartbeat write lock which is obtained and held
during the sending of a heartbeat. Now when sessions send a message
they still cancel the heartbeat task but if that fails they also wait
for the heartbeat write lock.

ReflectionTestUtils invokes toString() on target objects in order to
build exception and logging messages, and prior to this commit problems
could occur if the invocation of toString() threw an exception.
This commit addresses this issue by ensuring that all invocations of
toString() on target objects within ReflectionTestUtils are performed
safely within try-catch blocks.
Issue: SPR-14363
In the process of upgrading the build to use Gradle 2.14, the
setFieldOnLegacyEntityWithSideEffectsInToString() test method in
ReflectionTestUtilsTests began to fail. The reason is that the log
level for ReflectionTestUtils is now DEBUG by default with Gradle 2.14.
The apparent cause is that log4j was present on the test runtime
classpath for the spring-test module with all previous versions of
Gradle (via a transitive optional dependency from another project that
spring-test depends on). Thus the configuration in log4j.properties in
spring-test was previously honored, but with Gradle 2.14 a different
commons logging implementation is picked up.
Thus, in addition to upgrading the build to Gradle 2.14, this commit
introduces an explicit test runtime dependency on log4j in the
spring-test module.
The discovered bug in ReflectionTestUtils regarding DEBUG log level
will be addressed separately.

Renamed getSupportedMimeTypes() to getEncodableMimeTypes and
getDecodableMimeTypes. This will allow for both Encoder and Decoder to
be implemented in the same class.
This issue fixes#113.
