Restore Dependency Constraints for commons-codec and commons-logging

[jzheaux]

Recently, the build began to fail with:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':spring-security-web:compileTestJava'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':spring-security-web:testCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find commons-codec:commons-codec:1.15-SNAPSHOT.
     Required by:
         project :spring-security-web
   > Could not find commons-codec:commons-codec:1.15-SNAPSHOT.
     Required by:
         project :spring-security-web
         project :spring-security-web > project :spring-security-core
         project :spring-security-web > project :spring-security-core > project :spring-security-crypto

When run with --debug, the build complains that it cannot find the appropriate POM for the snapshot version:

It's not clear to me whether it's important for the build to be based on the snapshot builds of third-party libraries.

On the other hand, it's a surprise to me that this is an issue as it's certainly reasonable for Gradle to be able to resolve the timestamped POM of a SNAPSHOT version.
