This commit makes several changes to MimeType and MediaType
related to the topic of specificity.
This commit deprecates the MimeType and MediaType Comparators.
Comparators require a transitive relationship, and the desired order for
these types is not transitive (see #27488).
Instead, this commit introduces two new MimeType methods: isMoreSpecific
and isLessSpecific, both of which return booleans. MediaType overrides
these methods to include the quality factor (q) in the comparison.
All MediaType sorting methods have been deprecated in favor of
MimeTypeUtils::sortBySpecificity. This sorting method now uses
MimeType::isLessSpecific in combination a bubble sort algorithm (which
does not require a transitive compare function).

Since Spring Framework 6 uses JDK 17 for its baseline, we can make use
of toList() and toUnmodifiableSet() which were introduced in JDK 16 and
JDK 10, respectively.
Closes gh-27618
This commit introduces UnmodifiableMultiValueMap, an immutable wrapper
around a MultiValueMap, similar to what is returned by
Collections.unmodifiable*.
CollectionUtils::unmodifiableMultiValueMap now returns
UnmodifiableMultiValueMap.
Closes gh-27608
The fix made for gh-27488 resulted in a change of the default order
of codecs. This commit reverts these changes, so that the previous
order is restored.
Closes gh-27573
This commit also applies additional clean-up tasks such as the following.
- final fields
- diamond operator (<>) for anonymous inner classes
This has only been applied to `src/main/java`.
This commit makes sure that the Reactor context from a given mono or
flux is propagated to the Flux returned by a FluxSink. This change
affects both DataBufferUtils::write and internal classes used by the
DefaultPartHttpMessageReader.
Closes gh-27517
PR gh-24470 introduced a regression for Android users by no longer
escaping closing curly braces in regular expressions.
This commit therefore partially reverts the changes made in 273812f9c5
for closing curly braces (`}`).
Closes gh27467
