Bean-derived null values may still get passed into bean properties and injection points but only if those are declared as non-required. Note that getBean will never return null; a manual bean.equals(null) / "null".equals(bean.toString()) check identifies expected null values now. This will only ever happen with custom FactoryBeans or factory methods returning null - and since all common cases are handled by autowiring or bean property values in bean definitions, there should be no need to ever manually check for such a null value received from getBean.

This commit restores and existing redirectedUrl and forwardedUrl
methods (simple String comparison) and creates separate
redirectedUrlTemplate and forwardedUrlTemplate methods that expand
and also encode before comparing.

This commit revises the implementation of the SpringExtension to use
the getRequired*() methods in the ExtensionContext which are now built
into JUnit Jupiter thanks to inspiration from the initial "convenience"
methods implemented here.
The PathPattern compareTo method is now consistent with equals when
two patterns are of the same specificity but otherwise different.
Separately PathPattern now exposes a Comparator by specificity that
offers the current functionality of compareTo. This can be used for
actual sorting where we only care about specificity.
Consistent behavior with matches(PathContainer), the two had slightly
different logic for handling of empty paths.
Make matchAndExtract independantly usable without the need to call
matches(PathContainer) first. Essentially no longer raising ISE if the
pattern doesn't match but simply returning null.
Rename getPathRemaining to matchStartOfPath since the method does
match and to be more clear about what the method and the return value
intuitively follows.
Remove matchStart which matches the start of the pattern (rather than
the start of the path). It is a use case that does not come up in
request mapping.
This commit changes the WebClient so that it now throws a
`WebClientResponseException` for `ResponseSpec.bodyTo`. This newly
introduces exception contains the status code, headers, and body of the
response message.
As a consequence of the above, we had to change `onStatus` so that the
`exceptionFunction` now returns a `Mono<Throwable>` rather than a
`Throwable`, which it was before. The Mono allows for asynchronous
operations, such as reading the contents of the body.

Remove the separator constructor argument (but preserve internal
functionality) now that PathPatternParser is more explicitly purposed
for URL paths and in any case the use of an alternate separator would
also requires a similar input option on the PathContainer parsing side.
