> Support OSGi converter in adaptTo

> Key: SLING-7800

>
> The OSGi Converter
> (https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/util.converter.html) is a
> utility for converting an object into anything.
> In the context of Sling resources it might be very handy to use the converter
> to convert a resource (or the properties of a resource) into a data model
> (interface).
> Therefore we could think about supporting the Converter directly out of the
> box in adaptTo as all implementations inherit from the SlingAdaptable class.
> In order to get the properties of something, an adaptTo Map.class could be
> used.
> Attached is a simple patch demonstration this.
> This could be further improved, like leveraging the Resource#getValueMap
> method etc.
