Support mulit-value type hints (eg. @TypeHint=String[])
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SLING-533
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-533
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Servlets Post
            Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek


As discussed in SLING-522, when posting a single value to a property that 
should be multi-valued, an extension to the @TypeHint is needed that allows the 
explicit definition of a multi-value type. For example, for Strings this would 
be @TypeHint=String[].

Based on a quick look at the code, it should happen in 
o.a.s.servlets.post.impl.helper.SlingPropertyValueHandler.setPropertyAsIs(). 
First of all the parsing of the getTypeHint() must be changed to look for an 
ending [] first, and then this "isMultiValued" information must be used to call 
the multi-value version of setProperty() in all cases (values.length >= 0).
