Sam Brannen dbe89abd7b Pause unused application contexts in the TestContext framework

Since the introduction of the Spring TestContext Framework in 2007,
application contexts have always been stored in the context cache in a
"running" state. However, leaving a context running means that
components in the context may continue to run in the background. For
example, JMS listeners may continue to consume messages from a queue;
scheduled tasks may continue to perform active work, etc.; and this can
lead to issues within a test suite.

To address such issues, this commit introduces built-in support for
pausing application contexts when they are not in use and restarting
them if they are needed again.

Specifically, the TestContextManager now marks a test's application
context as "unused" after execution of the test class has ended, and
the underlying ContextCache then "stops" the application context if no
other test class is currently using the context. When a
TestExecutionListener later attempts to obtain a paused application
context -- for example, for a subsequent test class that shares the
same application context -- the ContextCache ensures that context is
restarted before returning it.
