Previously, if a managed bean had only one non-default constructor, we
should still annotate it with `@Autowired` to properly use constructor
injection. Not doing so resulted in an error as the container was
trying to call the default (non-existing) constructor.
This commit updates this behaviour to automatically applyed the
autowiring semantic to any bean that has only one constructor. As
before, if more than one constructor is defined, `@Autowired` must be
specified to teach the container the constructor it has to use.
Issue: SPR-12278
In several places in the spring-webmvc module, URL patterns / objects
relationships are kept in `HashMap`s. When matching with actual URLs,
the algorithm uses a pattern comparator to sort the matching patterns
and select the most specific. But the underlying collection
implementation does not keep the original order which can lead to
inconsistencies.
This commit changes the underlying collection implementation to
`LinkedHashmap`s, in order to keep the insert order if the comparator
does not reorder entries.
Issue: SPR-13798
Before this change the compilation of a method reference or property/field
access was not properly cleaning up the stack if compilation meant
calling a static method or accessing a static field. In these cases there
is no need for a target object on the stack and it should be removed if
present. For a simple expression it is harmless since the end result of
the expression is the thing on the top of the stack, but for nested
expressions if the inner expression suffered this issue, the outer
expression can find itself operating on the wrong element.
The particular issue covered the case of a static field access but this
fix (and associated tests) cover static method, property and field access.

JDK8 and Apache Commons Codec support the RFC 4648
"URL and Filename Safe" Base64 alphabet.
Add methods to `Base64Utils` to support this feature.
