Description
Some XML test resources still reference mvc/ant in their filenames, even though the
corresponding request-matcher value has been updated to path.
This issue tracks a potential cleanup to evaluate whether these XML resources and the
related tests should be removed or updated, as this involves behavior-specific decisions
outside the scope of #18641.

Research direction
Start by locating the XML test resources whose filenames reference mvc or ant and the related tests; compare those references with the request-matcher value of path. Determine whether each resource and test should be removed or updated, then verify the behavior-specific decision with the affected test suite.
