This commit fixes a potential NPE when determining the priority of a
bean instance in case multiple candidates exist and no bean was marked
as @Primary

This commit adds the missing 4.1 XSDs for the following components:
* spring-aop
* spring-context
* spring-jee
* spring-lang
* spring-tx
* spring-util
These are strictly identical to the definition of the 4.0 XSDs.

Commit 5fe8f52 introduced a support for @Priority as an alternative to
@Primary but it broke the semantic of the priority value. This commit
fixes this inconsistency.
As for @Order, the lowest value means the highest priority so if
several beans are candidates for injection, the one having the lowest
value will be used.

This commit adds a nested path support for DirectFieldAccessor that is
similar to what BeanWrapper provides. It is now possible to use
expressions such as "person.address.city.name" to access the name of
the city that a given person lives in using fields to traverse the
graph.
DirectFieldAccessor also now supports an auto-grow option to create
a default instance for a "null" intermediate path. This option is
false by default and leads to a NullValueInNestedPathException in such
a case.
This commit also harmonizes part of the tests suite so that core tests
are shared between BeanWrapperImpl and DirectFieldAccessor.
Note that map and list access is not implemented as part of this
commit.

After this change, java.util.Optional is supported with @RequestParam,
@RequestHeader, and @MatrixVariable arguments in Java 8. When Optional
is used the required flag is effectively ignored.

This commit introduces OrderProvider and OrderProviderComparator, two
interfaces designed to externalize how a collection of element is sorted
according to their order value.
FactoryAwareOrderProvider is an OrderProvider implementation that knows
about the objects to order and the corresponding BeanFactory instance.
This allows to retrieve additional metadata about the actual instances
to sort, such as its factory method.
A @Bean method can now holds an additional @Order to define the order
value that this bean should have when injected as part of a collection
or array.

This commit migrates the YAML support available in Spring Boot to
the core framework. YAML documents can be loaded either as a
properties object or as a map.
