Introduce support for test-scoped beans in the TestContext framework [SPR-14034]

[spring-projects-issues]

Caleb Cushing opened SPR-14034 and commented

I'd like to be able to register a bean as @Scope("test") (or @TestScope), so that after an integration test is executed this bean is cleaned up. I don't want to use @DirtiesContext because this is the only bean I want to throw away.

For the actual use case I've built a sort of "Login Manager" for selenium that knows which user is currently logged in and which roles have test users created for them. This can't be shared between tests because we only allow a single session for a user.

I looked to see if this exists in the reference documentation and couldn't find anything.

Please see the discussion in #24825. I hope there is room for reopening this issue, to introduce some kind of test-scoped beans (beans that should be getting rebuilt/replaced in the application context for each @Test method).
