AnnotationAttributes has existed for several years, but none of the
"get" methods that make up its public API are documented. In many
cases, the behavior can be inferred from the name of the method, but
for some methods there are "hidden gems" and unexpected behavior
lurking behind the scenes.
This commit addresses this issue by documenting all public methods. In
addition, the hidden support for converting single elements into
single-element arrays has also been documented and tested.

for projects that are using it.
This variant is now marked as deprecated.

Before this commit the object that #this would refer to in
nested expressions within projection/selection clauses was always
the root context object. This was incorrect as it should be the
element being projected/selected over. This commit introduces
a scope root context object which is set upon entering a new
scope (like when entering a projection or selection). Any
object. With this change this kind of expression now behaves:
where #this is the element of list1. Unqualified references
are also resolved against this scope root context object.

This commit introduces a test that will fail if SynthesizedAnnotation is
not public as is required by the contract for getProxyClass() in
java.lang.reflect.Proxy.

This commit introduces support for asynchronous return values thanks
to the new AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler interface. Out of
the box support for ListenableFuture is also provided.
Issue: SPR-12168
Commit 3d86f15 added a lot of new feature in AbstractPropertyAccessor
shared by both DirectFieldAccessor and BeanWrapperImpl. This makes this
abstract class harder to implement for others having simpler use cases.
It turns that Spring Data has such use case; this commit split these new
features in a dedicated new base class, leaving AbstractPropertyAccessor
untouched.
Issue: SPR-12805
Enable public visibility on SynthetizedAnnotation to allow annotation
outside its package to be proxied properly. This commit is pending a
unit test that actually reproduces the problem.
