Replace reference to aspectjrt.jar with aspectjweaver.jar since
aspectjrt is a subset of aspectjweaver and the full jar is required
by Spring.

Prior to this change, Spring's @Async annotation support was tied to a
single AsyncTaskExecutor bean, meaning that all methods marked with
@Async were forced to use the same executor. This is an undesirable
limitation, given that certain methods may have different priorities,
etc. This leads to the need to (optionally) qualify which executor
should handle each method.
This is similar to the way that Spring's @Transactional annotation was
originally tied to a single PlatformTransactionManager, but in Spring
3.0 was enhanced to allow for a qualifier via the #value attribute, e.g.
@Transactional(ptm1)
public void m() { ... }
where ptm1 is either the name of a PlatformTransactionManager bean or
a qualifier value associated with a PlatformTransactionManager bean,
e.g. via the <qualifier> element in XML or the @Qualifier annotation.
This commit introduces the same approach to @Async and its relationship
to underlying executor beans. As always, the following syntax remains
supported
@Async
public void m() { ... }
indicating that calls to #m will be delegated to the default executor,
i.e. the executor provided to
<task:annotation-driven executor=.../>
or the executor specified when authoring a @Configuration class that
implements AsyncConfigurer and its #getAsyncExecutor method.
However, it now also possible to qualify which executor should be used
on a method-by-method basis, e.g.
@Async(e1)
public void m() { ... }
indicating that calls to #m will be delegated to the executor bean
named or otherwise qualified as e1. Unlike the default executor
which is specified up front at configuration time as described above,
the e1 executor bean is looked up within the container on the first
execution of #m and then cached in association with that method for the
lifetime of the container.
Class-level use of Async#value behaves as expected, indicating that all
methods within the annotated class should be executed with the named
executor. In the case of both method- and class-level annotations, any
method-level #value overrides any class level #value.
This commit introduces the following major changes:
- Add @Async#value attribute for executor qualification
- Introduce AsyncExecutionAspectSupport as a common base class for
both MethodInterceptor- and AspectJ-based async aspects. This base
class provides common structure for specifying the default executor
(#setExecutor) as well as logic for determining (and caching) which
executor should execute a given method (#determineAsyncExecutor) and
an abstract method to allow subclasses to provide specific strategies
for executor qualification (#getExecutorQualifier).
- Introduce AnnotationAsyncExecutionInterceptor as a specialization of
the existing AsyncExecutionInterceptor to allow for introspection of
the @Async annotation and its #value attribute for a given method.
Note that this new subclass was necessary for packaging reasons -
the original AsyncExecutionInterceptor lives in
org.springframework.aop and therefore does not have visibility to
the @Async annotation in org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.
This new subclass replaces usage of AsyncExecutionInterceptor
throughout the framework, though the latter remains usable and
undeprecated for compatibility with any existing third-party
extensions.
- Add documentation to spring-task-3.2.xsd and reference manual
explaining @Async executor qualification
- Add tests covering all new functionality
Note that the public API of all affected components remains backward-
compatible.

Although the reference documentation listed the new @MVC support
classes and their benefits, it did not explicitly mention a few
use cases that are no longer supported. There is now a specific
section on the new support classes listing exactly what is not
supported.
Similary the @RequestMapping annotation never refered explicitly
to the existence of old and new support and never made it clear
exactly what the differences are.
Both have not been corrected.

Prior to this change, the caching reference docs referred to
'root.params', whereas the actual naming should be 'root.args'. This
naming was also reflected in the "#p" syntax for specifying method args.
This change updates the documentation to refer to 'root.args' properly
and also adds "#a" syntax for specifying method arguments more
intuitively. Note that "#p" syntax remains in place as an alias for
backward compatibility.

aspectjrt is a subset of aspectjweaver. Eliminate mentions of aspectjrt
where aspectjweaver is already necessary (e.g. LTW), and do not mention
aspectjweaver where only aspectrt is required (e.g. @Aspect proxying)
Also bump required version of aspect* libs from 1.5 to 1.6.8, reflecting
OSGi and pom metadata.

The UriComponentsBuilder instance passed into the method is initialized
with current request information including host, scheme, port, context
path, and the servlet mapping's literal part.
Also added shortcut methods to buildAndExpand in UriComponentsBuilder.
Since dynamic attributes were allowed in Spring 3, it raised the
possibility to specify a type attribute on a number of the form tags.
Where it makes sense (see below) that attribute is now rejected
and reversely where it makes sense it is accepted.
InputTag allows types other than "text" but rejects type="radio" or
type="checkbox" since there is a good reason for those to be used
only in conjunction with the appropriate form library tags.
Other HTML input tags such as PasswordTag, HiddenInputTag,
Checkbox(es)Tag and RadioBox(es)Tag check the dynamic attributes
and reject them if they contain a type attribute since.
