[hibernate-dev] JdbcSession proposal

I decided on a slight conceptual change.  I moved the ResourceRegistry 
inside the LogicalConnection.  I also moved the logic for acquiring and 
releasing connections inside the LogicalConnection based on certain 
callbacks I added to LogicalConnectionImplementor (previously the 
JdbcSession managed the release calls on the LogicalConnection). This 
allowed me to (imo) clean up the "resource clean up" logic.

I also added the notion of ConnectionAcquisitionMode as an alternative 
means of the underlying problem that ConnectionReleaseMode addressed.  
The idea here is to request that Connections be acquired aggressively 
(as opposed to lazily) and not released until the (Jdbc)Session closes.

I also added quite a few code comments, as well as log statements to 
help "visualize" the call stack

All these mentioned changes have been made in the org.hibernate.resource 
package.  The only real divergence between org.hibernate.resource and 
org.hibernate.resource2 in the "other discussion" wrt the type of API to 
expose for performing "JDBC operations".  I want to nail down this 
lower-level resource handling first.  Then I can apply these changes to 
both and use 2 packages to illustrate the different granularity proposals.
