/**
* Algorithm that judges the match between the declared parameter types of a candidate method
* and a specific list of arguments that this method is supposed to be invoked with.
*
Determines a weight that represents the class hierarchy difference between types and
* arguments. A direct match, i.e. type Integer -> arg of class Integer, does not increase
* the result - all direct matches means weight 0. A match between type Object and arg of
* class Integer would increase the weight by 2, due to the superclass 2 steps up in the
* hierarchy (i.e. Object) being the last one that still matches the required type Object.
* Type Number and class Integer would increase the weight by 1 accordingly, due to the
* superclass 1 step up the hierarchy (i.e. Number) still matching the required type Number.
* Therefore, with an arg of type Integer, a constructor (Integer) would be preferred to a
* constructor (Number) which would in turn be preferred to a constructor (Object).
* All argument weights get accumulated.
*
Note: This is the algorithm used by MethodInvoker itself and also the algorithm
* used for constructor and factory method selection in Spring's bean container (in case
* of lenient constructor resolution which is the default for regular bean definitions).
* @param paramTypes the parameter types to match
* @param args the arguments to match
* @return the accumulated weight for all arguments
