WW-4849 Restore ObjectFactory no-arg constructor for compatibility
As per [documentation](https://struts.apache.org/docs/objectfactory.html),
extending classes will expect to use the no-arg constructor. Removing it breaks
them all.
Moreover, since implementations are supposed to use no-arg constructors
themselves, how are they supposed to have immediate access to a Container to
pass to the superclass constructor?

> Components: Core

> Reporter: Mitth'raw'nuruodo
>
> Commit {{6f91d0776a545c911ca4f2875ed9976614711ef9}} changed the signature of
> the {{ObjectFactory}} constructor, breaking all classes that extend
> {{ObjectFactory}} (as per https://struts.apache.org/docs/objectfactory.html).
> This affects eg the [{{guice-servlet}} Struts plugin|
> https://github.com/google/guice/blob/master/extensions/struts2/src/com/google/inject/struts2/Struts2Factory.java].
> This was not listed on the [2.5.13 version
> notes|https://struts.apache.org/docs/version-notes-2513.html] as a breaking
> change, and breaking changes should preferably be avoided in critical
> security updates.
