Prior to this commit, SpEL's ConstructorReference did not provide
support for arrays when generating a string representation of the
internal AST. For example, 'new String[3]' was represented as 'new
String()' instead of 'new String[3]'.
This commit introduces support for standard array construction and array
construction with initializers in ConstructorReference's toStringAST()
implementation.

Prior to this commit, there were two bugs in the support for quotes
within String literals in SpEL expressions.
- Two double quotes ("") or two single quotes ('') were always replaced
with one double quote or one single quote, respectively, regardless
of which quote character was used to enclose the original String
literal. This resulted in the loss of one of the double quotes when
the String literal was enclosed in single quotes, and vice versa. For
example, 'x "" y' became 'x " y'.
- A single quote which was properly escaped in a String literal
enclosed within single quotes was not escaped in the AST string
representation of the expression. For example, 'x '' y' became 'x ' y'.
This commit fixes both of these related issues in StringLiteral and
overhauls the structure of ParsingTests.

Prior to this commit, ternary and Elvis expressions enclosed in
parentheses (to account for operator precedence) were properly parsed
and evaluated; however, the corresponding toStringAST() implementations
did not enclose the results in parentheses. Consequently, the string
representation of the ASTs did not reflect the original semantics of
such expressions.
For example, given "(4 % 2 == 0 ? 1 : 0) * 10" as the expression to
parse and evaluate, the result of toStringAST() was previously
"(((4 % 2) == 0) ? 1 : 0 * 10)" instead of
"((((4 % 2) == 0) ? 1 : 0) * 10)", implying that 0 should be multiplied
by 10 instead of multiplying the result of the ternary expression by 10.
This commit addresses this by ensuring that SpEL ternary and Elvis
expressions are enclosed in parentheses in toStringAST().

The antlr-based SpEL expression grammar file (SpringExpressions.g) was
introduced during initial development and prototyping of the Spring
Expression language; however, it was quickly abandoned in favor of a
handcrafted implementation. Consequently, it has become obsolete over
time and has never been actively maintained.
This commit therefore removes the obsolete SpEL expression grammar file.

Attempting to create a large array in a SpEL expression can result in
an OutOfMemoryError. Although the JVM recovers from that, the error
message is not very helpful to the user.
This commit improves the diagnostics in SpEL for large array creation
by throwing a SpelEvaluationException with a meaningful error message
in order to improve diagnostics for the user.
Closes gh-28145
Prior to this commit, SpEL was able to recover from an error that
occurred while running a CompiledExpression; however, SpEL was not able
to recover from an error that occurred while compiling the expression
(such as a java.lang.VerifyError). The latter can occur when multiple
threads concurrently change types involved in the expression, such as
the concrete type of a custom variable registered via
EvaluationContext.setVariable(...), which can result in SpEL generating
invalid bytecode.
This commit addresses this issue by catching exceptions thrown while
compiling an expression and updating the `failedAttempts` and
`interpretedCount` counters accordingly. If an exception is caught
while operating in SpelCompilerMode.IMMEDIATE mode, the exception will
be propagated via a SpelEvaluationException with a new
SpelMessage.EXCEPTION_COMPILING_EXPRESSION error category.
