Unknown init/destroy method in the @Bean annotation

Reports unresolved method references on initMethod and destroyMethod parameters of the @Bean annotation.

Example:

"Cannot resolve method" will be reported on 'doInit' expression if MyBean class doesn't contain 'public void 'doInit'(){...}' method

  public class MyBean {...}

  @Component
  public class MyComponent {
     @Bean(initMethod="doInit" )
     public MyBean myBean() {...}
  }

In this example, the inspection will report an unresolved method reference if MyBean doesn't define the doInit() method.
