[jboss-as7-dev] Binding MDB to resource adapter by jboss-ejb3.xml

I'm not talking about the activation-configType, that is being reused.

Maybe it would make sense to also have it in the assembly, but then it 
should be:

<a:additional-activation-config>
<ejb-name>FooBeanMDB</ejb-name>
<activation-config>
</activation-config>
</a:additional-activation-config>

And we would need to specify rules how that element is merged with the 
real activation-config element in the message-driven element. The 
message-driven element can be used in jboss-ejb3.xml.
<enterprise-beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
<message-driven>
</message-driven>
</enterprise-beans>

In fact it looks like we just want to add additional items to the MDB 
container itself, so <mdb:resource-adapter-binding> is wrongly named. It 
looks more like a <mdb:template> but that name doesn't look right.

Another alternative which I've yet to implement is extending the 
<session>, <entity> and <message-driven> elements themselves.
