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.

This commit deprecates the `<mvc:*` XML configuration namespace for
configuring Spring MVC applications. This configuration model is lagging
behind in the 6.x generation already and we don't intend to invest in
this space to close that gap.
As of 7.0, using this XML namespace will result in a WARN log message.
This commit also states our intent in the reference documentation.
Closes gh-34063
Spring Framework 7.0 will use a Kotlin 2 baseline, using the latest 2.x
release at the time of the release.
This commit upgrades Kotlin to 2.1.0, and Kotlin Serialization and
Coroutines accordingly.
Closes gh-33629
As a preparation to using a Kotlin 2 baseline, this commit stops using
Java code snippets in Kotlin ones in order to avoid redeclaration
errors.

This commit adapts AOT support in various modules after the RuntimeHints
and related deprecation changes.
`MemberCategory.INTROSPECT_*` hints are now removed and
`MemberCategory.*_FIELDS` are replaced with
`MemberCategory.INVOKE*_FIELDS` when invocation is needed.
Usage of `RuntimeHintsAgent` are also deprecated.

This commit makes it clear that there are no visibility requirements
for @TestBean fields or factory methods as well as @MockitoBean or
@MockitoSpyBean fields.
