HTTP headers such as "Expires", "Last-Modified" all use date
strings like "Tue, 21 Jul 2015 10:00:00 GMT". Prior to this commit,
there was no way to match those header values, besides formatting dates
manually.
This commit introduces a new HeaderResultMatcher to test those date
headers using a long timestamp:
```
this.mockMvc.perform(get("/persons/1").header("If-Modified-Since", now))
.andExpect(status().isNotModified())
.andExpect(header().dateValue("Last-Modified", timestamp));
```

Prior to this change, calling the `setDateHeader` method on a
MockHttpServletResponse instance (internal implementation for testing
the spring-web module) would just store the given long value in a Map,
not writing it as a formatted date String.
This can be problematic when testing features related to date headers
such as "Expires", "If-Modified-Since", "Last-Modified", etc.
This commit formats long dates into date Strings using the date format
recommended by the RFC and the GMT time zone.
As filter-based libraries and projects (such as Spring Security) may
use the "Pragma" header in HTTP responses, WebContentGenerator should
make sure that such headers are overwritten to avoid clashes with
the HTTP caching headers set by the HTTP caching configuration.

Prior to this commit, the Spring MVC Test Framework always created a
new MockHttpServletRequest, disregarding any mock request already
present in Spring Web's RequestContextHolder -- for example, one
created by the ServletTestExecutionListener in the Spring TestContext
Framework (TCF).
This commit modifies MockHttpServletRequestBuilder so that it reuses a
mock request created by the TCF. However,
MockMultipartHttpServletRequestBuilder continues to always create a new
MockMultipartHttpServletRequest since a MockHttpServletRequest created
by the TCF is not directly compatible with a
MockMultipartHttpServletRequest. Furthermore, in order to avoid
unforeseen side effects, MockHttpServletRequestBuilder will always
create a new MockHttpServletRequest if a mock request is present in the
RequestContextHolder but not created by the TCF.

When resolving resources, the PathResourceResolver creates a Resource
instance and checks whether this resource `exists()` and `isReadable()`.
While that last call returns false for folders on the file system, both
calls return true for folders located inside JARs.
If a JAR location is configured as a resource location, then
PathResourceResolver can resolve folders in JARs as valid locations and
candidates for paths resolution.
Prior to this change, the PathResourceResolver would resolve "" as a
valid resource path (here, the "/META-INF/resources/webjars" if
configured, for example) and return a "" path for this resource,
effectively turning all "/" URLs into empty ones "".
This commit fixes the resolveUrlPathInternal implementation by not
allowing empty paths as valid resource paths.
