OIDC upgrades don't appear to provide new versions of files

[Henri Mikkonen]

Hi Gary,

I made some testing and reproduced the same behaviour with the latest 
IdP release. It has been discussed as a part of this ticket:

https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/IDP-2340

I verified that it has been fixed for the IdP 5.2.0-SNAPSHOT, but not in 
any real IdP release yet.

BR,
Henri.
