Update SimpleDataBinder to prevent binding to specific types (#13259)

* Escaped Javadoc special chars

Escaping of special chars in Javadoc, such as '<' with '&lt;'
Refactoring of code -> Define explicit types and remove unnecessary variable usages.

* Fixed Javadoc typos

* Update GrailsPrintWriter.java
