https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/pull/746
have done a big job to make things use the TypeRegistry instead of the old
catalog, and to add to type registry in an `UNRESOLVED` state first. this
fixes the big problem by adding types from all bundles into an unresolved
state, then resolving them.
it has ended up much bigger than i meant BUT it has several main advantages:
* we no longer persist catalog item XML for things where we persist the
OSGi bundle
* we're very close to being able to remove nearly all the clunky "catalog"
code; apart from items that were persisted as XML everything uses the new type
registry now
the logic for guessing the supertypes is messy, hooking in to the old
`Guessing` interpreter in a brittle way, but if we plan to remove old catalog
code (and annotations scanning) we can rewrite it all to be much simpler and
nicer.
note this PR is still WIP, not working 100%; we don't support templates in
the registry yet, locations need attention, and there are quite a few TODO
items to look at. but wanted to give people sight of it.
