[Building Sakai] [WG: Sakai QA] Upgrade to Spring 2.5.6

[David Horwitz]

-1 its way to late to get this in and tested properly before the 2.6
release. There are also people relying on the 1.0 kernel for production.
We can't really decide if this is safe for a later 2.6 release until we
have tested more, but my gut feel is a no.
