Sam Brannen f8a2bdad87 Clarify Bean Overrides and Spring AOP Proxies documentation
A user reported confusion between two distinct uses of "wraps" in the
AOP proxy documentation for Bean Overrides: the sense in which a
Mockito spy wraps the original bean instance it was created from, and
the sense in which a Spring AOP proxy wraps the spy in the actual
object graph.

To address that, this commit adds two small diagrams to the general
"Bean Overrides and Spring AOP Proxies" section, illustrating, from a
caller's perspective, the shape of the bean for the
REPLACE/REPLACE_OR_CREATE strategy (no proxy at all) versus the WRAP
strategy (an AOP proxy still created, now wrapping the override
instance instead of the original bean). Both diagrams use the same
generic "override instance" label, since the section is not specific to
Mockito; a Mockito spy created by @⁠MockitoSpyBean is mentioned only as
an example.

The accompanying text is revised to reserve "wraps" for the AOP proxy
relationship and to explicitly call out that a Mockito spy's
relationship to its original bean instance is a separate concern from
AOP proxy nesting.

The @⁠MockitoSpyBean-specific strategy paragraph in the
@⁠MockitoBean/@⁠MockitoSpyBean documentation has also been revised
similarly, and now points to the new diagram.
