Historically, we have rarely intentionally thrown a
NullPointerException in the Spring Framework. Instead, we prefer to
throw either an IllegalArgumentException or IllegalStateException
instead of a NullPointerException.
However, changes to the code in recent times have introduced the use of
Objects.requireNonNull(Object) which throws a NullPointerException
without an explicit error message.
The latter ends up providing less context than a NullPointerException
thrown by the JVM (since Java 14) due to actually de-referencing a
null-pointer. See https://openjdk.org/jeps/358.
In light of that, this commit revises our current use of
Objects.requireNonNull(Object) by removing it or replacing it with
Assert.notNull().
However, we still use Objects.requireNonNull(T, String) in a few places
where we are required to throw a NullPointerException in order to
comply with a third-party contract such as Reactive Streams.

Rework AnnotatedElementAdapter to avoid cloning the underlying
Annotation array if it is empty when getAnnotations() is called.
Additionally, make the class static and add a factory method that
returns a singleton instance for null or empty Annotation arrays.

KClass instantiation in CoroutinesUtils is suboptimal, and should be
replaced by KTypes#isSubtypeOf checks using pre-instantiated types for
Flow, Mono and Publisher.
This commit impact on performances is significant since a throughput
increase between 2x and 3x has been measured on basic endpoints.
Closes gh-32390
To smooth upgrade from 6.1.x, this commit makes sure that code that used
to catch an IAE to ignore a faulty placeholder resolution still works.
See gh-9628
This commit fixes a performance regression caused by gh-31698,
and more specifically by KClass#isValue invocations which are slow since
they load the whole module to find the class to get the descriptor.
After discussing with the Kotlin team, it has been decided that only
checking for the presence of `@JvmInline` annotation is enough for
Spring use case.
As a consequence, this commit introduces a new
KotlinDetector#isInlineClass method that performs such check, and
BeanUtils, CoroutinesUtils and WebMVC/WebFlux InvocableHandlerMethod
have been refined to leverage it.
Closes gh-32334
