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.

After the Groovy 2.5 upgrade, the Spring Framework build on JDK9 hit
GROOVY-8631. Adding the relevant `jax-api` dependency to the module
didn't fix this issue. The Groovy release notes mention the use of the
`--add-modules` JVM flag, but this is not an option for this build which
should run on JDK8 -> JDK11.
This commit changes the dependency from `groovy-all` to more focused
dependencies on Groovy in the `spring-beans` and `spring-context`
modules. This change seems to avoid the automatic loading of Groovy
enhancements to JAXB (shipped with `groovy-xml`).

This commit introduces a deferred initialization of the declared beans
in order to make it possible to access to the environment (and even
to the context for advanced use-cases) in the beans { } Kotlin DSL.
Issues: SPR-16269, SPR-16412
Spring's CGLIB fork is patched with local copies of affected files here, introducing the notion of a "contextClass" (e.g. the proxy superclass) which gets passed through to ReflectUtils.defineClass for delegating to MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass eventually, against a privateLookupIn(contextClass) lookup context on JDK 9/10/11.
