Description

SOLR-13534 recently triggered an NPE in the 'ecj-lint' task on branch_8x.

Looking into it, it seems like this is the bug..
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=502871
...upgrading ECJ should fix this – confirmed by some quick local testing i just did.

Uwe actually upgraded ECJ on master already as part of the change to java11, but the smaller portion of just upgrading ECJ wasn't backported – there doesn't seem to be any reason NOT to backport just he ECJ org/revision change (w/o chnaging the supported version)
