The getBeanFactory() method has been obsolete for more than 13 years
since it was superseded by the getRegistry() method in the
BeanDefinitionReader interface.

In order to catch Javadoc errors in the build, we now enable the
`Xwerror` flag for the `javadoc` tool. In addition, we now use
`Xdoclint:syntax` instead of `Xdoclint:none` in order to validate
syntax within our Javadoc.
This commit fixes all resulting Javadoc errors and warnings.
This commit also upgrades to Undertow 2.2.12.Final and fixes the
artifact names for exclusions for the Servlet and annotations APIs.
The incorrect exclusion of the Servlet API resulted in the Servlet API
being on the classpath twice for the javadoc task, which resulted in the
following warnings in previous builds.
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet"
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet.http"
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet.descriptor"
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet.annotation"

In order to be able to use text blocks and other new Java language
features, we are upgrading to a recent version of Checkstyle.
The latest version of spring-javaformat-checkstyle (0.0.28) is built
against Checkstyle 8.32 which does not include support for language
features such as text blocks. Support for text blocks was added in
Checkstyle 8.36.
In addition, there is a binary compatibility issue between
spring-javaformat-checkstyle 0.0.28 and Checkstyle 8.42. Thus we cannot
use Checkstyle 8.42 or higher.
In this commit, we therefore upgrade to spring-javaformat-checkstyle
0.0.28 and downgrade to Checkstyle 8.41.
This change is being applied to `5.3.x` as well as `main` in order to
benefit from the enhanced checking provided in more recent versions of
Checkstyle.

To slightly improve performance, this commit switches to
StringBuilder.append(char) instead of StringBuilder.append(String)
whenever we append a single character to a StringBuilder.

This commit fixes a potential memory leak, since PropertyComparator
previously kept an indirect reference to the value it last compared.

Prior to this commit, the Spring Framework build would rely on
setting a custom Java HOME for building all sources and tests
with that JDK.
This approach is not flexible enough, since we would be testing
the source compatibility against a recent JDK, but not a common
case experienced by the community: compiling and running
application code with a recent JDK and the official, JDK8-based
Framework artifacts.
This method is also limiting our choice of JDKs to the ones
currently supported by Gradle itself.
This commit introduces the support of Gradle JVM Toolchains in
the Spring Framework build.
We can now select a specific JDK for compiling the main
SourceSets (Java, Groovy and Kotlin) and another one for
compiling and running the test SourceSets:
`./gradlew check -PmainToolChain=8 -PtestToolchain=15`
Gradle will automatically find the JDKs present on the host or
download one automcatically. You can find out about the ones
installed on your host using:
`./gradlew -q javaToolchains`
Finally, this commit also refactors the CI infrastructure to:
* only have a single CI image (with all the supported JDKs)
* use this new feature to compile with JDK8 but test it
against JDK11 and JDK15.
