Add Java based configuration
----------------------------

                 Key: CLK-661
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-661
             Project: Click
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Bob Schellink
             Fix For: 2.3.0


click.xml has grown over the years especially since we introduced the service based architecture. Some of the problems with xml based configurations is:

- no compile time checking
- no JavaDoc help in IDE

I propose we add a new DefaultConfigService class that is Java based which XmlConfigService extends from.

Its advantages is the polar opposite of xml disadvantage:

- compile time checking
- JavaDoc help in IDE
- More powerful configuration options, e.g. its possible to configure FileUpload in ways not exposed by xml config. Also possible to create more powerful algorithms e.g. which templates to include/exclude.
