Automatic JCasGen of merged type system

At startup-time, the Java classes for types could be generated from the "merge" of type information in all components (this merge is done in current UIMA, and is intended to let annotators "extend" each other's type model with additional features).  Any component could run JCasGen on the types they were using, in order to get classes they could compile against.  These would be ignored in favor of the generated-at-startup-time version.

This could be done using either ECL or via code generation.
