This commit introduces support in the spring-test module for obtaining a
reference to the underlying target object hidden behind one or more
proxies.
Specifically this commit introduces AopTestUtils with two methods:
- getTargetObject(Object)

Issue: SPR-13005
Commit 5648fbfc31 introduced a
compile-time dependency on spring-beans-groovy in the spring-context
module which breaks the build on the CI server since the Animal Sniffer
task cannot find a JAR file for spring-beans-groovy.
This commit reverts that change so that the "sniffer" task once again
succeeds.
Prior to this commit, the `getAnnotation()` method in `TypeDescriptor`
only supported a single level of meta-annotations. In other words, the
annotation hierarchy would not be exhaustively searched.
This commit provides support for arbitrary levels of meta-annotations
in `TypeDescriptor` by delegating to `AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation()`
within `TypeDescriptor.getAnnotation()`.
Issue: SPR-12793
Prior to this commit, AntPathMatcher would not correctly combine a path
that ends with a separator with a path that starts with a separator.
For example, `/foo/` + `/bar` combined into `/foo//bar`.
Specifically, this commit:
- Removes the duplicated separator in combined paths
- Improves RequestMappingInfo's toString() representation
- Fixes Javadoc formatting in AntPathMatcher
- Polishes AntPathMatcherTests
- Polishes Javadoc in AbstractRequestCondition

This commit introduces a messaging.converter.MessageConverter that
marshals to/from XML using the abstractions provided in the OXM module.
Issue: SPR-12726
Prior to this change, the `UrlTag` would simply append the remote
context and the path value in case of a context relative URL.
The following code snippet would output "//foo":
```
<spring:url value="/foo" context="/" />
```
This change now removes trailing slashes in remote context to avoid
this.
