Upgrade to AspectJ 1.7.1

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. [1]: http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-170.html Issue: SPR-10079
