    CAY-1946 cdbimport improvments

    Basic cdb import improvement: use db merge if model already exist
    1) added DbLoaderConfiguration class; this class responsibility should be 
provide to DataLoader all necessary information
    2) DbImportAction - this class will check availability of dataMap file and 
do merge if it is exist otherwise just load model from db
    3) DbImportParameters - was renamed to DbImportConfiguration and also 
responsible fo construction of necessary objects for during import process
    4) functional or end-to-end test for maven plugin basic usage scenarios
    5) XmlUnit - for xml file comparison

> We’ve experimented with automated db-first approach to Cayenne modeling for 
> more than a year on a set of client projects. Roughly this approach means 
> that DB evolution is managed via external tools (e.g. liquibase) and Cayenne 
> artifacts are managed using the following POM configuration:
> <plugin>
>       <groupId>org.apache.cayenne.plugins</groupId>
>       <artifactId>maven-cayenne-plugin</artifactId>
>       <configuration>
>               ...
>       </configuration>
>       <executions>
>               <execution>
>                       <id>default-cli</id>
>                       <goals>
>                               <goal>cdbimport</goal>
>                               <goal>cgen</goal>
>                       </goals>
>               </execution>
>       </executions>
> </plugin>
> “cdbimport” ensures that Cayenne model is always in sync with DB, “cgen” - 
> that Java classes are in sync with the model. There are zero problems with 
> “cgen", not so with “cdbimport". If you control the schema, you get a 
> decently named Java classes/properties in 95% of the cases. Here we are 
> trying to address the remaining 5% that make things ugly:
> * Inability to generate meaningful relationship names in many cases.
> * Inability to customize attribute/relationship names and data types.
> To solve this here we are proposing a merge algorithm that would preserve 
> customizations to the Obj* layer made by the user. And in addition to that a 
> special descriptor that can be used for more advanced filtering and 
> customization of cdbimport process. Both of these improvements will hopefully 
> result in “cdbimport” becoming a tool of choice for Cayenne work for many 
> users.
