[hibernate-dev] Configuration for Infinispan cache working as directory provider in HSearch

I don't want static code in HSearch if we can avoid that. It always  
creates unexpected issues. (In this case units tests will be quite  
messy at least).
Plus Caches and CacheManager don't have to be closed? They might need  
to be tied to the HSearch lifecycle or something.
