Allows for skipping the now-deprecated postProcessPropertyValues callback with its expensive PropertyDescriptor retrieval requirement. RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor (which is dependent on postProcessPropertyValues) and the @Required annotation itself are also deprecated now: in favor of constructor injection (or afterPropertiesSet).

This commit introduces RouterFunctions.Builder, a new way to build
router functions that does not require static imports, thus being more
discoverable and convenient.
Issue: SPR-16953
Polish a few issue identified when adding checkstyle to the
build. Although checkstyle is not enforcing rules on tests,
these are a few minor changes that are still worth making.
Issue: SPR-16968
Reorganize imports to ensure consistent ordering. This commit also
expands any `.*` static imports in favor of using fully-qualified
method references.
Issue: SPR-16968
Update all classes so that inner classes are always last. Also
ensure that utility classes are always final and have a private
constructor and make exceptions final whenever possible.

Add checkstyle to the build to enforce Spring Framework coding
conventions. Rule suppressions are used for several classes where
relaxing the rules makes more sense than fixing them.

In SPR-16892, the `EncoderHttpMessageWriter` has been improved to write
`"Content-Length"` HTTP response headers if the response body is of type
`Mono` (i.e. the actual content length is easily accessible without
buffering a possibly large response body). That change was relying on
the fact that the server side is using a `ChannelSendOperator` to delay
the writing of the body until the first signal is received.
This strategy is not effective on the client side, since no such channel
operator is used for `WebClient`. This commit improves
`EncoderHttpMessageWriter` and delays, for `Mono` HTTP message bodies
only, the writing of the body so that we can write the
`"Content-Length"` header information once we've got the body resolved.
