We need to add this development flag on higher level then just undertow subsystem.

It should be server-wide configuration.
this would enable also other subsystems to behave differently, like the jsf about forcing jsf/facelets development.

maybe we can add this to top level element of server? aka <server xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:2.0" development-mode="true">

Max for now this is mgmt configuration for servlet-container but we could easily set default value to be passed from system property.

One idea would be to alter the logging config to log DEBUG messages by default in this mode?
