Although the initial report in gh-28015 only covered inconsistencies
for arrays and strings in the toString() implementations for
annotations between the JDK (after Java 9) and Spring, it has since
come to our attention that there was further room for improvement.
This commit therefore addresses the following in toString() output for
synthesized annotations.
- characters are now wrapped in single quotes.
- bytes are now properly formatted as "(byte) 0x##".
- long, float, and double values are now appended with "L", "f", and
"d", respectively. The use of lowercase for "f" and "d" is solely to
align with the choice made by the JDK team.
However, this commit does not address the following issues which we may
choose to address at a later point in time.
- non-ASCII, non-visible, and non-printable characters within a
character or String literal are not escaped.
- formatting for float and double values does not take into account
whether a value is not a number (NaN) or infinite.
Closes gh-28015
