Historically, @Configuration classes that did not declare @Bean
methods were allowed to be abstract. However, the changes made in
76a6b9ea79 introduced a regression that prevents such classes from
being abstract, resulting in a BeanInstantiationException. This change
in behavior is caused by the fact that such a @Configuration class is
no longer replaced by a concrete subclass created dynamically by CGLIB.
This commit restores support for abstract @Configuration classes
without @Bean methods by modifying the "no enhancement required" check
in ConfigurationClassParser.

This commit introduces a new BeanRegistrarDsl that supersedes
BeanDefinitionDsl which is now deprecated.
See BeanRegistrarDslConfigurationTests for a concrete example.

This commit introduces a new BeanRegistrar interface that can be
implemented to register beans programmatically in a concise and
flexible way.
Those bean registrar implementations are typically imported with
an `@Import` annotation on `@Configuration` classes.
See BeanRegistrarConfigurationTests for a concrete example.

Prior to this commit, if a custom stereotype annotation was
meta-annotated with @Component and declared a local String `value`
attribute that was explicitly configured (via @AliasFor) as an
override for an attribute other than @Component.value, the local
`value` attribute was still used as a convention-based override for
@Component.value.
Consequently, a local `value` attribute was used as a custom
@Component name, even when that is clearly not the intent.
To address that, this commit revises the logic in
AnnotationBeanNameGenerator so that a `value` attribute which is
explicitly aliased to something other than @Component.value is no
longer used as an explicit @Component name.

Prior to this commit, if a String 'value' attribute of an annotation
was annotated with @AliasFor and explicitly configured to alias an
attribute other than @Component.value, the value was still used as the
@Component name, but the warning message that was logged stated that
the 'value' attribute should be annotated with
@AliasFor(annotation=Component.class). However, it is not possible to
annotate an annotation attribute twice with @AliasFor.
To address that, this commit revises the logic in
AnnotationBeanNameGenerator so that it issues a log message similar to
the following in such scenarios.
WARN o.s.c.a.AnnotationBeanNameGenerator - Although the 'value'
attribute in @example.MyStereotype declares @AliasFor for an
attribute other than @Component's 'value' attribute, the value is
still used as the @Component name based on convention. As of Spring
Framework 7.0, such a 'value' attribute will no longer be used as the
@Component name.
