Sam Brannen a1a87679da Support test annotations on interfaces

Prior to Java 8 it never really made much sense to author integration
tests using interfaces. Consequently, the Spring TestContext Framework
has never supported finding test-related annotations on interfaces in
its search algorithms.

However, Java 8's support for interface default methods introduces new
testing use cases for which it makes sense to declare test
configuration (e.g., @ContextConfiguration, etc.) on an interface
containing default methods instead of on an abstract base class.

This commit ensures that all non-repeatable, class-level test
annotations in the Spring TestContext Framework can now be declared on
test interfaces. The only test annotations that cannot be declared on
interfaces are therefore @Sql and @SqlGroup.
