Spring Security Add PostFilter support for Optionals

Expected Behavior Add functionality to use @PostFilter on Optional return types.

Current Behavior Currently filtering is supported for collections, arrays, maps and streams. To add support for optional filtering, you have to create a custom handler extending the DefaultMethodSecurityExpressionHandler, add an implementation for optionals filtering (through stream filtering) and then register this new handler. This is very cumbersome.

This is related to an earlier discussion about @PostAuthorize.

In addition to Rob's recommendation (above) to use .orElse, @PostFilter is intended for filtering collections, so I'd be hesitant to support non-collection return types.
