Add equivalent of JAX-RS @Produces to Spring MVC [SPR-7353]

[spring-projects-issues]

Keith Donald opened SPR-7353 and commented

As a Spring MVC user, I would like the option to explicitly specify the media types a @Controller can produce. If a client does not accept at least one of those media types, the server should return the NOT_ACCEPTABLE (406) status.

We should pursue semantic alignment with JAX-RS where possible. See http://jackson.codehaus.org/javadoc/jax-rs/1.0/javax/ws/rs/Produces.html for a description of how JAX-RS supports this feature.
