[ #HiltMigration ] Updating BasicAnnotationProcessor to support a String-based API.

Context: Per discussion in [] this change adds a String-based `Step` class as a replacement for `ProcessingStep`. The new `Step` contains the same two methods (annotations() & process()) which return and accept fully-qualified annotation names. To support the potential absence of the annotation classes from the processor classpath the corresponding methods were changed to no longer depend on explicit Class types.

RELNOTES=Adding String-based `Step` as a replacement for `ProcessingStep` to BasicAnnotationProcessor. Allows for fully-qualified Annotation names to be specified in a processing Step in order to remove the requirement that implementation processors depend directly on their Annotation classes.

A collection of source code generators for Java.

Auto‽

Java is full of code that is mechanical, repetitive, typically untested and sometimes the source of subtle bugs. Sounds like a job for robots!

The Auto subprojects are a collection of code generators that automate those types of tasks. They create the code you would have written, but without the bugs.

Save time. Save code. Save sanity.
