[MDSAL-475] Enable runtime/compile-time components to assert versioning assumptions

Tue, 9 Jan 2024 09:10:18 +0000

BindingMapping.VERSION is a defunct construct which attempts to provide versioning. This approach is wrong, as we need to capture the version used at compile-time and check it against current runtime.

For this to work, the API specification needs to work on ints (or other javac-propagated compile constant).
