      @Nullable public static Object[] determineValidationHints(Annotation ann)
      Determine any validation hints by the given annotation.

      This implementation checks for Spring's Validated, @jakarta.validation.Valid, and custom annotations whose name starts with "Valid" which may optionally declare validation hints through the "value" attribute.

      Parameters:
      ann - the annotation (potentially a validation annotation)
      Returns:
      the validation hints to apply (possibly an empty array), or null if this annotation does not trigger any validation
