Next development version (v6.2.20-SNAPSHOT)

This commit introduces support for tracking operations during SpEL
expression evaluation. If the maximum number of operations is exceeded,
a SpelEvaluationException is thrown.

The limit can be configured either on a per-use-case basis via
SpelParserConfiguration supplied to the SpelExpressionParser or
globally as a JVM system property or Spring property named
`spring.expression.maxOperations`.

Closes gh-36801
