Invalid filter definition in XML-based component scans

Reports inconsistent <filter> definitions in <component-scan> of XML application contexts.

Example:

public class NonAnnotationTypeClass {}

<beans>
  <ctx:component-scan base-package="com.my.company">
    <ctx:exclude-filter expression="com.my.company.anno.NonAnnotationTypeClass" type="annotation"/>
  </ctx:component-scan>
</beans>

In this example, NonAnnotationTypeClass is expected to be an annotation type.
