[validate] custom messages are lost when min/max are converted to range

[Romirez]

The code in the validate 1.2 plugin that converts the minlength and maxlength to rangelength (and min and max to range) ignores the fact that these rules may have error messages associated with them, and defaults to the standard range error message instead of using them.

I'm not quite sure what the purpose of that code is anyway, since minlength and maxlength are sometimes both necessary for the express purpose of having different error messages.

patch to remove the code that causes this

[joern]

The purpose is to merge min/max/length when specified as seperate attributes:

<input min="5" max="7" />

I'll make that an option in the next release, most likely as "autoCreateRanges". Not sure yet about the default, with this ticket it tends to be false.

Fixed in [4587]. Set jQuery.validator.autoCreateRanges = true to reenable 1.2 style range conversion.
