Deprecate the JS part of commons validator
The JS parts of commons-validator haven't been updated in a while and don't
necessarily follow common security best practices (almost every function uses
`eval`). At the same time there are quite a few issues that are several years
old and haven't been worked upon [1].
For this reason I propose to deprecate (and later remove) the JS component
of commons-validator using JavaDoc / JSDoc mechanisms and with a warning on the
browser's console. All deprecation messages refer to an alternative that is
commonly used and actively maintained to give the users some guidance.
