Refactoring of code and internal API changes

• enhance the Expression/Predicate APIs to allow the required type to be passed in
• make more endpoints easily configurable as beans in Spring XML CAMEL-506
  • have nice Spring 2 namespace schemas for different endpoints for nicer IDE completion
• remove @deprecated code

Nice to haves
