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

[Knoop, Peter]

In the meantime, any suggestions for such upgrades can also be captured to subtasks for:

Upgrades/Additions Under Consideration for Sakai 2.7.0
http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-15562

Or, if its kernel-related (i.e., for kernel-1.1, on which Sakai 2.7 will likely be based):
