Canonicalization might not be performed

There's a bug in DefaultEncoder.canonicalize(String input).

It's supposed to use the settings
Encoder.AllowMultipleEncoding and
Encoder.AllowMixedEncoding
but it's effectively using
!Encoder.AllowMultipleEncoding and
!Encoder.AllowMixedEncoding

See lines 116-123:

public String canonicalize( String input ) {
                if ( input == null ) {
                        return null;
                }
                return canonicalize(input, 
                                                        ESAPI.securityConfiguration().getAllowMultipleEncoding(),
                                                        ESAPI.securityConfiguration().getAllowMixedEncoding() );
        }

It should be

public String canonicalize( String input ) {
                if ( input == null ) {
                        return null;
                }
                return canonicalize(input, 
                                                        !ESAPI.securityConfiguration().getAllowMultipleEncoding(),
                                                        !ESAPI.securityConfiguration().getAllowMixedEncoding() );
        }

because

canonicalize(String, boolean, boolean)

is defined as

canonicalize(String input, boolean restrictMultiple, boolean restrictMixed)

and not as

canonicalize(String input, boolean allowMultiple, boolean allowMixed)
