Bug#941685: libspring-java: FTBFS package org.hibernate.validator.method does not exist

[Ryan Tandy]

Control: tag -1 ftbfs upstream fixed-upstream patch

The cleanest way to fix this would be upgrading Spring to 5.0 or later, 
which drops the build-dependency on hibernate-validator 4.x and strictly 
requires validation-api 1.1 and hibernate-validator 5.x.

In case that's not possible in the near term, I attach here a patch 
consisting of changes backported from upstream to remove the code 
depending on hibernate-validator 4.x.

I did successfully run the unit tests of o.s.validation.beanvalidation.* 
with my patch applied, but it needed so much hacking that I don't 
entirely trust the result. I have not yet tested an actual application 
using the bean validation feature from the installed package, and I 
won't open an MR until I've done that.
