Update to snapshot 1.8.2

(* Because we shipped release 1.8.1 to fix a number-formatting bug, 
switch to the snapshot of 1.8.2.
* Fix a JavaDoc typo
* Fix POM files so that Maven Central will accept them

+# Rhino 1.8.1, Rhino 1.7.15.1, Rhino 1.7.14.1
+## December 2, 2025
+
+These releases fix a bug in the code that formats floating-point numbers into strings
+that could result in very bad performance in some cases.
+
+We recommend that all users of Rhino upgrade to release 1.8.1 if possible,
+and upgrade to Java 17 or 21. 
+
+Users who need an older release, or who cannot yet leave Java 8, can also
+use 1.7.15.1 or 1.7.14.1.
