This commit updates the whole Spring Framework codebase to use JSpecify
annotations instead of Spring null-safety annotations with JSR 305
semantics.
JSpecify provides signficant enhancements such as properly defined
specifications, a canonical dependency with no split-package issue,
better tooling, better Kotlin integration and the capability to specify
generic type, array and varargs element null-safety. Generic type
null-safety is not defined by this commit yet and will be specified
later.
A key difference is that Spring null-safety annotations, following
JSR 305 semantics, apply to fields, parameters and return values,
while JSpecify annotations apply to type usages. That's why this
commit moves nullability annotations closer to the type for fields
and return values.

Prior to this commit, the MVC namespace for the XML Spring configuration
model would use the `PathMatcher` bean instance when provided like this:
```
<bean id="pathMatcher" class="org.springframework.util.AntPathMatcher"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:path-matching path-matcher="pathMatcher"/>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="classpath:/static/"/>
```
With this configuration, the handler mapping for annotated controller
would use the given `AntPathMatcher` instance but the handler mapping
for resources would still use the default, which is `PathPatternParser`
since 6.0.
This commit ensures that when a custom `path-matcher` is defined, it's
consistently used for all MVC handler mappings as an alias to the
well-known bean name. This allows to use `AntPathMatcher` consistently
while working on a migration path to `PathPatternParser`
This commit also adds a new XML attribute to the path matching
configuration that makes it possible to use a custom `PathPatternParser`
instance:
```
<bean id="patternParser" class="org.springframework.web.util.pattern.PathPatternParser"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:path-matching pattern-parser="patternParser"/>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
```

Prior to this commit, the order of parameters passed to
ELResolver#getValue was incorrect.
The `name` should correspond to the `property` parameter of the
`getValue` method instead the `base` parameter.

Rather than leaving it to the Resource implementation, and
potentially normalizing twice, we apply it once as part of the
initial processPath checks.

Prior to this commit, the URL handler mapping would expose the matching
pattern, the path within mapping and matching URI variables as request
attributes. This was the case when the mapping would use the
`AntPathMatcher` as matching infrastructure, but not when using the
`PathPattern` variant. In this case, the map of URI variables would be
`null`. This could throw `IllegalArgumentException` when `RedirectView`
instances were relying on the presence of specific variables.
This commit ensures that URI variables are also extracted when the
`PathPatternParser` is used.

Prior to this commit, MVC function endpoints would allow Server Sent
Event responses through `ServerResponse.sse()`. While this covers a
common use case for streaming responses, other technologies would
benefit from a "low-level", unopinionated streaming support.
This commit introduces a new `BodyBuilder.stream()` methods that enables
such use cases. Developers are in charge of setting the relevant HTTP
response headers beforehand, and then can write to the response as raw
`String`, `byte[]` or using complex objects and the configured message
converters for serialization.
Because each streaming protocol has different message separator
semantics, it is also the developers' responsibility to flush buffered
content to the network once a message has been fully written.
Closes gh-32710
Prior to this commit, `ResponseBodyEmitter` woud accept a single
`Runnable` callback on each of its `onTimeout`, `onError` or
`onCompletion` methods. This would limit the developers' ability to
register multiple sets of callbacks: one for managing the publication of
streaming values, another one for managing other concerns like
keep-alive signals to maintain the connection.
This commit now allows multiple calls to `onTimeout`, `onError` and
`onCompletion` and will register all callbacks accordingly.
Closes gh-33356
On the client side, supports `name=value` pairs. Placeholders in values
are resolved by the `embeddedValueResolver`.
On the server side, additionally supports `name` and `!name` syntax.
Closes gh-33309
Based on feedback from htmx-spring-boot. It's more generally useful
to process those from within DefaultFragmentsRendering rather than
in ModelAndViewMethodReturnValueHandler. That way a custom
return value handler can create a FragmentsRendering as well and
get the same result.
