Spring Security Kotlin Configuration DSL: Use reified types wherever a class is used as a parameter

Expected Behavior

Functions that take a class as a parameter could be written in a idiomatic kotlin way like addFilterAt<BasicAuthenticationFilter>(myFilter) also removing some noise.

Current Behavior

The current version of the function takes a java class as a parameter: addFilterAt(myFilter, BasicAuthenticationFilter::class.java)

Context

When using any Kotlin DSL I don't expect to pass a java class as a parameter. Normally you would pass Kotlins KClass (BasicAuthenticationFilter::class) or use the even more idiomatic way of with a generic reified type. That's also embraced in other parts of Spring like the RestTemplate that for example has an extension functions for post (postForObject(url)).

Thanks for the report @gonozalviii! Would you be interested in submitting a PR for this?

Comment From: gonozalviii

Yes I can create a PR.

I assume the new functions should be added, and the old functions should be kept?

Comment From: eleftherias

@gonozalviii Yes, please keep the old functions for backwards compatibility.
