This commit defines the doc-root and api-spring-framework attributes
once in docs.gradle instead of duplicating them in each *.adoc file.

attribute.

Issue: SPR-16045
This commit introduces the following changes.
1) It adds a new Spring @NonNull annotation which allows to apply
@NonNullApi semantic on a specific element, like @Nullable does.
Combined with @Nullable, it allows partial null-safety support when
package granularity is too broad.
2) @Nullable and @NonNull can apply to ElementType.TYPE_USE in order
to be used on generic type arguments (SPR-15942).
3) Annotations does not apply to ElementType.TYPE_PARAMETER anymore
since it is not supported yet (applicability for such use case is
controversial and need to be discussed).
4) @NonNullApi does not apply to ElementType.FIELD anymore since in a
lot of use cases (private, protected) it is not part for the public API
+ its usage should remain opt-in. A dedicated @NonNullFields annotation
has been added in order to set fields default to non-nullable.
5) Updated Javadoc and reference documentation.
Issue: SPR-15756
Due to a bug in Rouge thats prevents it from working on MS Windows, we
are currently reverting back to CodeRay for source code highlighting
within the Reference Manual.
Issues: SPR-15471
This commit uses a tip provided by @mojavelinux to set the syntax
highlighter to Rouge for the PDF version of the User Guide.
Once Asciidoctor 1.5.7 has been released we will likely switch to Rouge
for the HTML version of the Reference Manual as well.
Issue: SPR-14997
This commit removes docbook from the documentation toolchain and
instead makes use of asciidoctor to render the reference documentation
in HTML and PDF formats.
The main Gradle build has been refactored with the documentation tasks
and sniffer tasks extracted to their own gradle file in the "gradle"
folder.
A new asciidoctor Spring theme is also used to render the HTML5 backend.
