This change upgrades the spring-framework build to AspectJ 1.7.1 to
ensure compatibility. We remain backward-compatible to at least AJ
1.6.12 (the previous version), and likely back to 1.6.7.
AJ 1.7 allows for weaving Java 7 bytecode, particularly with regard
to invokedynamic instructions, and furthermore makes improvements to
the aspectj language itself to allow users to take advantage of Java 7-
style language features within aspects. See [1] for details.

This commit upgrades the compile dependency on JUnit in the spring-test
module as well as the global test dependency on JUnit for the entire
test suite to 4.11 GA.
In addition, the spring-test module now depends on junit:junit instead
of junit:junit-dep since, as of JUnit 4.11, the "junit" Maven artifact
no longer inlines hamcrest-core.

Upgrade to docbook-reference-plugin v0.2.2 and remove custom xsl
styles in favor of plugin defaults. Modify some docbook source
files to work with newer style.
Restore the custom title page of the reference manual in order to
remove the large list of authors on the first page.
Note: This change will require updating to version 0.1.7 of the
docbook-reference-plugin when it is released.

"versionless" XSDs. For example, spring-beans-3.0.xsd becomes
spring-beans.xsd

Prior to this commit many imagedata elements were duplicated in
order to configure PDF sizes. Since HTML generation is configured
to ignore image scaling altogether this was unnecessary duplication.

Replace reference to aspectjrt.jar with aspectjweaver.jar since
aspectjrt is a subset of aspectjweaver and the full jar is required
by Spring.
