Switch source encoding to UTF-8 and enforce it in the build [SPR-11569]

[spring-projects-issues]

Stéphane Nicoll opened SPR-11569 and commented

We have been referring to ISO-8859-1 for the encoding of our source files but nothing in our build enforces it and most of the new code base is probably encoded with UTF-8.

Unless there's a valid reason to use latin instead of UTF-8 we should fix at least master and configure gradle to make sure that resources are compiled/copied with that encoding instead of relying on the default.

Why don't we slate this for 5.0?

Source files were already UTF-8 encoded so it was about configuring the compiler. This is done now on master.
