Add CI build on several Spring Framework generations

This commit adds a GHA workflow that builds the project against a list
of configurable Spring Framework versions. The build action has been
updated to accept an additional input that tunes the Spring Framework
version the build is using

As a result, the default Spring Framework version of the project is now
configured in gradle.properties.

Closes gh-1810
