Please unblock package closure-compiler

[ Reason ]

It turned out that closure-compiler would not function correctly with
the latest version of librhino-java in Debian. I had to revert the
previous patch to fix the FTBFS. I bundled the source package of rhino
1.7.7.2 with src:closure-compiler instead. This was the last one that
worked correctly. Please see #1036249 for the full discussion. The
debdiff is huge because of the new rhino sources hence why it is not
attached to this bug report but I made only minimal changes to
debian/rules and the build_xml.patch.

[ Impact ]

Half of closure-compiler's r-deps would FTBFS with a parsing error.

[ Tests ]

I have sucessfully rebuilt all reverse-dependencies twice.

[ Risks ]

Since rhino is now embedded, rebuilds are no longer required. The tool
appears to work again as in February before I had to upgrade the system
library of rhino.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing
