Description
Currently, there is no way to request a few mocks, provide answers (to share common setups), and automatically inject these mocks where needed.
@MockitoBean should have a property called answer, of type Class<? extends Answer>, and use the class (create an instance) when a mock is created in MockitoBeanOverrideHandler.createMock.

Research direction
Start with the @MockitoBean annotation and MockitoBeanOverrideHandler.createMock, both named in the issue. Trace how a mock is created and how its configuration is represented. Done means a custom Answer class can be declared on @MockitoBean, instantiated, and used when the mock is created.
