Validation 3.1 M1 Release

[mswatosh]

The Jakarta EE platform is looking for an M1 release from each spec by November 28th, we should look at what (if anything) we want to include in the M1. For open issues we have:

• Add Record support  #174
• Support the Valid annotation on parameterized types to an interface class #186
• Be able to compose Pattern list with OR expression #157
• Make adding constraints easier #184 (This one looks like it may be closable?)

Even if we don't add anything for the M1, we still need to go through the release process. @VIGNESH-RAMALINGAM and I can help with the release, but we haven't been through one before, so I'm not sure what the steps are.

We can work on the issues for M2 or the subsequent release. M1 is just a bump of dependencies and plugins.
