Change o.h.cfg.Mappings to not require constructor
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3439
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3439
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: metamodel
            Reporter: Steve Ebersole
            Assignee: Steve Ebersole
             Fix For: 3.4


Mappings requiring passing all the mapping queues into its constructor causes interoperability issues with other components (annotations e.g.) because they generally extend Mappings to add extra information.  Therefore we introduce an incompatibility whenever we add a new mapping attribute because we are currently forced to change the signature of the Mappings constructor.

A better approach is to make Mappings an interface with an impl that defined as an inner class to o.h.cfg.Configuration so that it can expose access to the queues directly from there.  Annotations, etc can than simply extend that Mappings impl.
