JCR2SPI: improve ItemDefinitionProviderImpl.getMatchingPropdef to better handle 
multiple residuals
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JCR-1056
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1056
             Project: Jackrabbit
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SPI
            Reporter: Julian Reschke
            Priority: Minor


When a new property is set with unknown type (missing PropertyType parameter), 
ItemDefinitionProviderImpl.getMatchingPropdef() is used to find an applicable 
property definition.

There may be cases where multiple residual property defs may match, for 
instance, when the repository allows only a certain set of property types on 
that node type.

In this case, when the set of allowable types includes STRING, that propdef 
should be returned. After all, the client did not specify the type, so STRING 
is most likely the best match.
