Annotations on generic superclass methods not found by AnnotationUtils [SPR-17146]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-17146 and commented

Following up on #20609, we should also apply the same policy to superclass methods, even if annotation inheritance expectations across generics might be less common there.

Due to the inconsistency with generic interfaces and the inconsistency between AnnotationUtils and AnnotatedElementUtils (since only the former finds annotations on generic interface methods), this qualifies as a follow-up bug that needs to be fixed in the 5.0.x line as well.
