Kotlin 2.2 is the new baseline for Spring Framework 7.0.
-Xannotation-default-target=param-property is specified to avoid
warnings when compiling tests or documentation snippets. It is
expected to become the default behavior in an upcoming version
of Kotlin, see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-73255 for
more details.

Spring Framework 6.2 introduced support for an escape character for
property placeholders (by default '\'). However, as of Spring Framework
6.2.6, there was no way to either escape the escape character or disable
escape character support.
For example, given a `username` property configured with the value of
`Jane.Smith` and a `DOMAIN\${username}` configuration string, property
placeholder replacement used to result in `DOMAIN\Jane.Smith` prior to
6.2 but now results in `DOMAIN${username}`. Similarly, an attempt to
escape the escape character via `DOMAIN\\${username}` results in
`DOMAIN\${username}`.
In theory, one should be able to disable use of an escape character
altogether, and that is currently possible by invoking
setEscapeCharacter(null) on AbstractPropertyResolver and
PlaceholderConfigurerSupport (the superclass of
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer).
However, in reality, there are two hurdles.
- As of 6.2.6, an invocation of setEscapeCharacter(null) on a
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer applied to its internal
top-level PropertySourcesPropertyResolver but not to any nested
PropertySourcesPropertyResolver, which means that the `null` escape
character could not be effectively applied.
- Users may not have an easy way to explicitly set the escape character
to `null` for a PropertyResolver or
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer. For example, Spring Boot
auto-configures a PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer with the
default escape character enabled.
This first issue above has recently been addressed by gh-34861.
This commit therefore addresses the second issue as follows.
- To allow developers to easily revert to the pre-6.2 behavior without
changes to code or configuration strings, this commit introduces a
`spring.placeholder.escapeCharacter.default` property for use with
SpringProperties which globally sets the default escape character that
is automatically configured in AbstractPropertyResolver and
PlaceholderConfigurerSupport.
- Setting the property to an empty string sets the default escape
character to `null`, effectively disabling the default support for
escape characters.
spring.placeholder.escapeCharacter.default =
- Setting the property to any other character sets the default escape
character to that specific character.
spring.placeholder.escapeCharacter.default = ~
- Setting the property to a string containing more than one character
results in an exception.
- Developers are still able to configure an explicit escape character
in AbstractPropertyResolver and PlaceholderConfigurerSupport if they
choose to do so.
- Third-party components that wish to rely on the same feature can
invoke AbstractPropertyResolver.getDefaultEscapeCharacter() to obtain
the globally configured default escape character.

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.

This commit extract spring-related links and recurring external links
into asciidoctor attributes to be used by the Antora toolchain.
It notably homogenizes links to:
- IETF RFCs
- Java Community Process JSRs
- the Java API Documentation (on the Java 17 version)
- Kotlin documentations (on the Kotlinlang.org version)
- the Spring Boot reference guide (on the `html` version)
This commit also reworks most link attributes to follow a
Project-Category-Misc syntax. For example, `spring-boot-docs` rather
than `docs-spring-boot`.
Finally, it makes an effort to clean up remainders from the previous
documentation toolchain, namely the `docs/asciidoc` folder and
`modules/ROOT/pages/attributes.adoc` file.
