This pull request introduces important security and usability enhancements across several utility classes, as well as dependency and bug fixes. The most significant changes are the addition of path traversal protections in FileUtil, secure deserialization in SerializeUtil, improved documentation and configuration for cryptography in CachedCipher, and a bug fix in ArrayMap. It also updates the SLF4J dependency to the latest version.

- Code Quality: 2 bugs fixed, removed 140+ lines of custom code
- Modernization: Updated dependencies, replaced internal APIs
- Documentation: Enhanced JavaDoc with security warnings and best practices

All changes maintain backward compatibility where possible, with clear
documentation for any breaking changes.
This commit removes the deprecation from CachedCipher.java and adds
extensive test coverage for all recent improvements.

MAIN CHANGES:
1. CachedCipher.java optimization
   - Removed @deprecated annotation and warning messages
   - Rewrote documentation with positive, feature-focused approach
   - Emphasized high-performance cipher pooling capabilities
   - Added usage examples and configuration guidance
   - Maintained all security improvements (charset handling, consistent defaults)

2. SerializeUtil comprehensive test suite
   - Added 10 new test methods covering all filtering functionality
   - Test default filter with safe classes (String, Integer, arrays, collections)
   - Test custom filter creation and usage
   - Test permissive filter for trusted data
   - Test null filter behavior
   - Test org.codelibs.* package allowance

   - Total: 13 test methods (up from 2)

3. FileUtil comprehensive test suite
   - Added 13 new test methods for new functionality
   - Test isPathSafe() with various path scenarios:
     * Safe paths inside base directory
     * Path traversal attempts (blocked)
     * Paths outside base directory (blocked)
     * Same path as base (allowed)
   - Test readBytes() file size enforcement:
     * Large files (>10MB) throw IORuntimeException
     * Normal files work correctly
     * Empty files handled properly
   - Test null parameter validation
   - Total: 15 test methods (up from 2)

     * ASCII text
     * UTF-8 text (Japanese characters)
     * Binary data with all byte values
   - Test single and two-byte encoding
   - Test backward compatibility with standard Base64 padding
   - Verify java.util.Base64 produces identical output
   - Total: 10 test methods (up from 2)

TEST COVERAGE SUMMARY:

[nitpick] Consider using enhanced for-loop variable naming. The variable 'pattern' could be named 'allowedPattern' to better indicate it's an allowed pattern from the DEFAULT_ALLOWED_PATTERNS set.

This commit fixes compilation errors in FileUtil.java:

1. isPathSafe() method:
   - Removed unnecessary try-catch block (Path operations don't throw IOException)
   - Removed @throws IORuntimeException from javadoc

2. readBytes() method (line 173):
   - Changed: throw new IORuntimeException("message")
   - To: throw new IORuntimeException(new IOException("message"))
   - IORuntimeException only accepts IOException, not String

3. read() method (line 306):
   - Changed: throw new IORuntimeException("message")
   - To: throw new IORuntimeException(new IOException("message"))
   - IORuntimeException only accepts IOException, not String

These changes ensure all IORuntimeException instances are properly
constructed with IOException objects as required by the constructor
signature: IORuntimeException(final IOException cause)
This commit fixes compilation errors in StringUtilTest.java by removing
references to the deleted newStringUnsafeMethod field.

CHANGES:
- Removed references to StringUtil.newStringUnsafeMethod (deleted in previous commit)
- Simplified testNewStringUnsafe() method to test only the public API
- Removed conditional logic that was testing internal reflection mechanism
- Retained all functional tests for newStringUnsafe() method behavior

The test now properly validates:
- null input handling
- empty char array
- standard char array conversion
- char array with trailing space

This change aligns the test with the simplified StringUtil.newStringUnsafe()
implementation that no longer uses internal JDK APIs.
This commit addresses code review feedback by improving variable naming
in the SerializeUtil class for better readability.

CHANGES:
- Renamed loop variable 'pattern' to 'allowedPattern' in DEFAULT_FILTER
- Renamed loop variable 'pattern' to 'allowedPattern' in createCustomFilter()

RATIONALE:
The more descriptive name 'allowedPattern' better indicates that the
variable represents an allowed pattern from the patterns collection,
improving code clarity and maintainability.

LOCATIONS:
- Line 88-94: DEFAULT_FILTER lambda implementation
- Line 231-237: createCustomFilter() lambda implementation

NOTE ON COPILOT FEEDBACK:
Copilot also suggested changing method names in CachedCipher.java JavaDoc
from 'encryptoText/decryptoText' to 'encryptText/decryptText'. However,
this suggestion was REJECTED as incorrect - the actual method names are
'encryptoText' and 'decryptoText', so the JavaDoc is already accurate.
The newStringUnsafe() method originally used internal JDK APIs
(sun.misc.SharedSecrets) for performance optimization. These internal
APIs have been removed for safety and compatibility with modern Java
versions. The method now simply wraps the standard String constructor,
providing no additional value.

Users should use the String(char[]) constructor directly instead.
…ileUtil.readBytes

CachedCipher changes:
- Add correctly spelled methods: encrypt/decrypt, encryptText/decryptText
- Deprecate typo methods: encrypto/decrypto, encryptoText/decryptoText
- Maintain backward compatibility by delegating deprecated methods to new ones
- Update JavaDoc example to use correct method names
- Add comprehensive test coverage for new and deprecated methods

FileUtil changes:
- Add readBytes(File, long maxSize) overload for custom size limits
- Existing readBytes(File) now delegates to new method with MAX_BUF_SIZE
- Add comprehensive tests for custom maxSize parameter

All deprecated methods maintain full backward compatibility.
