Hi Guix!

attached is a patch for these security issues. I'm not very happy with
them, because I had to do many things, but when updating 4 yo packages,
it's somewhat expected.

The packages now require junit 5 to run the tests, so I had to disable
them, and dependencies have changed a bit, with the notable addition of
util-ajax. Unfortunately, I cannot update the 9.2.* versions, and
jetty-test-classes fails to build, though it's not needed anymore as
it's only used during tests.

I believe I added these packages initially only because I didn't want
users to mistakenly install the 9.2.* versions that were not the latest
at the time. We might want to update to jetty 11 or figure out how to
build junit 5, which has quite a complex dependency graph, with a few
cycles.

Thanks Léo for noticing this!
