Release: Validation Plugin 1.13.1

This is a patch release for the jQuery Validation Plugin. It contains a few changes, though most notable is the fix for the newly implemented aria-describedby-based behaviour for error elements introduced in 1.13.0. That turned out to have a few issues which are now addressed.

Thanks to Markus Staab, who’s have been helping with ticket triage.
