Version information is now compiled as part of a build and written to
version.properties. It is exposed by the API.

Markdown and learning progress features are no longer considered
experimental. Leaning progress can no longer be globally disabled.

Added 'ui' prefix for splash screen settings.

Upgrade to Spring IO 2.0.1.RELEASE

Add "liveClicker" use-case and possibility to lock live feedback

### Live Clicker
An additional use-case called "liveClicker" has been added (https://scm.thm.de/redmine/issues/17162). It uses the live feedback implementation in order to make the voting in the style of hardware clicker  systems possible. The timed deletion of feedback votes has been disabled for sessions with "liveClicker" configuration.

### Feedback lock
The feedback-lock feature allows the speaker to lock the live feedback/clicker. While the lock is active, no further votes are possible. On lock removal all votes from the session will be reseted.



See merge request !13

Feedback reset will be disabled for liveClicker-sessions.

Add support for LDAP manager and search

New configuration settings have been implemented to allow additional
LDAP environments:
* `security.ldap.user-search-filter`
* `security.ldap.user-search-base`
* `security.ldap.manager-user-dn`
* `security.ldap.manager-password`

See merge request !12

An LDAP search pattern can now be used instead of binding with a DN
pattern.

This reverts commit fc78eb18.

SASS variables only exist at compile time and are not available for
arsnova.properties.

This patch makes Spring.IO usable with ARSnova Backend and also updates
some dependiencies not beeing upgraded in ARSnova Backend POM
so I removed explicit version declaration.

Problems with json-path-assert dit not occure, so i removed version
declaration and use managed version 2.0.0.

Remove obsolete version properties

Closes GH-17. This is a squshed version of PCV's PR. (DG)

Add a default exception handler to catch non handled exceptions

The default exception handles all excaptions not handled by the
following handle methods.

It creates a response, containing the HTTP status description
and the exception message.
This response can be serialized into JSON.

It generally might not occure but in some conditions the previous code
could be used to inject something into response by manipulating the
origin header to include some \n or \r.
These sequences should not occure in results CORS headers.

Patch replaces all \n or \r in origin header with a white space char.
Newer servlet containers like Tomcat 7.x fix this problem, but it might
be a good idea to fix this issue within ARSnova.

See: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/HTTP_Response_Splitting

NovaEvents is derived from ApplicationEvent which extends EventObject.
EventObject implements Serializable.

It is bad practice if defined instance fields within NovaEvents
derived classes do not implement Serializable.

A boxed primitive is created from a String in
* RangeAspect#handlePaginationRange()
* LoginController#dialog()
just to extract the unboxed primitive value with Integer#valueOf().
This creates an Integer object. It is more efficient to use parseInt()
which creates a primitive int.

Corrected random indention in LoginController
