be more defensive looking up javax.annotation.Priority (jdk6 compatibility) [SPR-12489]

[spring-projects-issues]

zyro opened SPR-12489 and commented

ref. comments: #16962

when javax.annotation.Priority is accidentially present on a jdk6 apps classpath, the lookup in OrderUtils (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/master/spring-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/core/annotation/OrderUtils.java#L41) causes a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError.

should likely be handled a bit more defensively. thanks, zyro
