Support varargs-only MethodHandle as SpEL function

Prior to this commit, if a MethodHandle was registered as a custom
function in the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) for a static method
that accepted only a variable argument list (for example,
`static String func(String... args)`), attempting to invoke the
registered function within a SpEL expression resulted in a
ClassCastException because the varargs array was unnecessarily wrapped
in an Object[].

This commit modifies the logic in FunctionReference's internal
executeFunctionViaMethodHandle() method to address that.

Closes gh-34109
