Provide test ContextLoader for @ContextConfiguration that creates a WebApplicationContext. I would like to add a MockServletContext to my test configuration and then load a DispatcherServlet context to check that it initializes OK, at the very least. I am prevented from doing thiswith a normal generic ContextLoader by #10071, but it strikes me that anyway a loader should be provided to make this a less onerous task to start with.

Affects: 2.5.6
