Allow @Async to specify which executor to use [SPR-7043]

[spring-projects-issues]

Kenny MacLeod opened SPR-7043 and commented

I would like to see an attribute added to the @Async annotation, which allows the specification of the name of the executor bean to be used for invocations on that method. This would be an alternative to specifying the executor name in the <task:annotation-driven/> element.

The use case is that sometimes you want multiple executors in a context, and different @Async-annotated beans need to use different executors. Currently, there is no way to do this - all @Async-annotated beans in a given context must use whichever executor is configured in the <task:annotation-driven/> element.

As already noted, this issue duplicates #11153; resolving it as such.
