FormTag's "modelAttribute" should consistently supersede "commandName" [SPR-14094]

[spring-projects-issues]

Tomoyuki Ikeya opened SPR-14094 and commented

In my understanding, commandName of FormTag is legacy attribute. Most modern applications may use modelAttribute instead of it.
Now I could not see any description of modelAttribute at the reference. It's better to replace or add descriptions for modelAttribute at the reference to avoid confusion.

I've taken the opportunity to officially deprecate setCommandName/getCommandName on the FormTag class, removing all references to it from the documentation.
