Don't validate type on PropertyEditorSupport.setValue()/toString() calls

I ran into the following error on G 2.0.1 with Spring versions 2.0.5-2.0.7-SNAPSHOT. PropertyEditor.setValue() is being called with an object whose type does not match the defined type.

Spring has been updated in latest builds to ignore this problem (see http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-3799). There's some question about what the proper behavior is in this case... I didn't find any spec-level guidance... http://weblogs.java.net/blog/ljnelson/archive/2007/08/objects_and_str.html (search for 'dilemma') recommends logging the condition and ignoring the type mismatch.

I'm going to remove the type checking.
