[jboss-as7-dev] Management Configuration

[Brian Stansberry]

The intent was to use the domain-controller-localType in host.xml. 
However, that doesn't work very well for anything that needs to get 
pushed to other hosts (i.e. the central management security policy 
config). For that we need something in domain.xml. The outer element for 
that should be something fairly general (e.g. not "security") so we can 
drop in other things besides the security policy if its clear they are 
needed.

We'll need to sort the names of elements a bit, plus how the 
domain-level config propagates through the host and server level 
in-memory management trees. We are already using "management" for a 
particular purpose in host.xml and standalone.xml. Thinking simply, any 
central management config that comes from the DC would get slotted into 
the host and server level in-memory management trees as siblings of what 
gets parsed out of the host.xml/standalone.xml "managementType". But 
that may not work cleanly; it needs thought.
