Introduces new internal classes DriverInformation and DriverInformationHelper for managing driver information
Updates ClientMetadata to use a list-based approach with duplicate checking
Refactors tests to use the new infrastructure and adds comprehensive test coverage for duplicate metadata scenarios

Had to add an internal method MongoDriverInformation#getDriverInformationList to get the list of DriverInformation and added this annotation as a way to highlight things for internal use only.

If this ok, then I'll add a ticket to annotation each of the internal packages in their package-info.java

We already have VisibleForTesting should we try to unify all these in a similar fashion to ApiStatus
(already supported in IntelliJ ~)

I didnt want to misuse that as it's not for testing. It's needed for the ClientMetaData API as well. This all stems from MongoDriverInformation being lossy, I need the combined information of name, version and platform.

The changes required by the spec ensure that driver information as a whole can be checked for equality - so that duplicates aren't appended.

+               }
+            }
+            if (hasAddedNewData) {


Only recalculate the clientMetadataBsonDocument if there has been a real change.

-        tryWithLimit(client, d -> {
-            putAtPath(d, "driver.name", driverInformation.getInitialDriverName());
-            putAtPath(d, "driver.version", driverInformation.getInitialDriverVersion());
+        tryWithLimit(clientMetadata, d -> {


We add the initial driver information - if there is room. Then later we add the full driver information (eg the extended libraries that use the driver) if there is room.

This behavior is defined by the spec.

 public final class MongoDriverInformation {
-    private final List<String> driverNames;


Using lists of Strings, no longer works for the new test cases - as it meant we couldn't check for duplicates effectively.

    }

-    def 'should not prepend data if none has been added'() {
+    def 'should not append data if none has been added'() {


We never prepended the data - so these tests needed some tweaking to make sense.

        options.getDriverPlatforms() == ['Java oracle64-1.8.0.31']
    }

-    def 'should error if trying to set a version without setting a name'() {


There is a specific new test from the spec that actually tests we can do this. So removed the check and this test.

The new prose tests. I renamed the existing ones to make it easier for future changes / adding new tests.

I used APIStatus in the kafka connector - but it hasn't been adopted by the Java driver. We seem to have our own inhouse annotations that do the same thing. Eg. VisibileForTesting seems to be inspired by their annotations library.

I think there is a ticket to move away from our own null annotations, to a more standardized one. Perhaps we should also look to adopt APIStatus as part of that work. JAVA-5938 thats not scheduled until 6.0.0

Since it's outside the scope of this PR, we can create a ticket to consider folding the @Internal annotation underAPIStatus 👍
