Prior to this commit, we could only contribute `RuntimeHints` through
two mechanisms:
* `AotContributingBeanFactoryPostProcessor`, consdering the entire
`BeanFactory` and designed for contributing both code and hints.
* `AotContributingBeanPostProcessor`, consdering beans one by one, but
also designed for contributing both code and hints.
There are cases where libraries and applications want to contribute
`RuntimeHints` only, in a more static fashion: a dependency being
present, or a piece of infrastructure being considered by the
application context are good enough signals to contribute hints about
resources or reflection.
This commit adds the `RuntimeHintsRegistrar` contract for these cases.
Implementations can be declared as `spring.factories` and they will be
processed as soon as they're detected on the classpath. They can also be
declared with `@ImportRuntimeHints` and they will be processed if the
annotated bean definition is considered in the application context.
This annotation should be mainly used on configuration classes and on
bean methods.
```
@Configuration
@ImportRuntimeHints(CustomRuntimeHintsRegistrar.class)
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
@ImportRuntimeHints(OtherRuntimeHintsRegistrar.class)
public MyBean myBean() {
//...
}
}
```
