The new EncodedResourceResolver is a generalized version of
GzipResourceResolver that can be configured to support different
content codings, by "br" and "gzip".
GzipResourceResolver is now deprecated.

This commit removes all places where forwarded headers are checked
implicitly, on an ad-hoc basis.
ForwardedHeaderFilter is expected to be used instead providing
centralized control over using or discarding such headers.
Issue: SPR-16668
Prior to this commit, the `AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor`
would fail to convert `InputStreamResource` to `ResourceRegion` as
expected, since the content length cannot be read without consuming the
stream. This is enforced by the `HttpRange` class.
Now the method processor would still try to output HTTP range response
headers to provide range support information. This step is using the
resource content length and reads the input stream, leading to
exceptions such as "IllegalStateException: InputStream has already been
read".
This commit improves the return type detection and excludes early
`InputStreamResource` return types. With those types, HTTP range support
is now completely disabled.

Includes direct use of ControllerMethodInvocationInterceptor for return type Object, avoiding the attempt to generate an Object subclass.
Issue: SPR-16710
Consistently return "*/*" if no media types were requested rather than
an empty list. Existing code has to check for both in any case to see
if nothing was requested.
Issue: SPR-16624
Prior to this commit, the `HttpEntityMethodProcessor` would check HTTP
conditions on non-safe requests (i.e. not GET/HEAD). This would prevent
Controllers from returning `ResponseEntity` containing response headers
with updated values of `"Last-Modified"` or `ETag` once the resource has
been updated.
This commit avoids those checks for non GET/HEAD requests - this code
can still be leveraged from Controllers themselves using
`ServletWebRequest::checkNotModified` methods.
