Fix 436653: conditional aspect activation plus various polish

Modified test expectation system so it is possible to say
the test cares about one particular message and the rest
do not matter (prefix message string with '*') - crude but
quick.

Polished many places to exploit generics

Upgraded all the tests to work on Java8 - some serious changes
regarding ajdoc on Java8. Hopefully it has stayed backwards
compatible with earlier JDK versions (e.g. if using AspectJ 1.8.3+
with a JDK less than 8) but no explicit testing done for this.
