Break TextEncoder interface into two interfaces: one for encoding and one for decoding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DNA-82
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/DNA-82
             Project: DNA
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Common
            Reporter: Randall Hauch
         Assigned To: Randall Hauch
             Fix For: 0.2


Currently, the org.jboss.dna.common.text.TextEncoder interface has two methods:  encode(String):String and decode(String):String.  Using a single reference to a TextEncoder (often times for decoding purposes) is confusing and relies upon documentation or parameter naming to make the purpose clear.  It would be better to have a separate TextEncoder and TextDecoder interfaces, and to use those interfaces in the appropriate places.  In some (rare?) situations where an encoder and decoder are required, two parameters or member attributes will be required.  Overall, this should be an improvement.

The current implementations (JCR, URL, NoOp) can all just implement both interfaces.
