Brian Clozel cd110ad14e Use PropertyPath instead of utility methods
Prior to this commit, `DataBinder` and the property accessor
hierarchy relied on `PropertyAccessorUtils` and several
independent scanners for property paths.
This commit migrates all of them to `PropertyPath`, so
there is exactly one parser deciding what a well-formed property
path is, used identically for policy checks and for actual
navigation.

This removes long standing protected methods like
A`getPropertyAccessorForPropertyPathi` and `getFinalPath` from
`bstractNestablePropertyAccessor`. The path is now parsed exactly
once per public entry point, via the new `resolvePropertyPath`, which
returns a `ResolvedProperty`. Then, property navigation walks
the parsed segment list rather than re-scanning partial strings.
Any subclass overriding the removed method will need to adapt.

This removal initially conflicted with gh-37252 (maxNestedPathDepth
support). The public configuration remains but the actual behavior
changed; it is replaced with `PropertyPath.Options` which enforces
limit right after parsing, before property navigation begins.
The exception thrown changes from `InvalidPropertyException` to
`InvalidPropertyPathException`.

This commmit also reverts the `map[']` / `map["]` quoting behavior
from gh-36765 as it is incompatible with the new grammar.
