[jboss-as7-dev] update messaging subsystem config to 1.2

[Darran Lofthouse]

+1 it is read all but only persist as the latest.

Different subsystems have taken different approaches to this, some 
completely fork the parser for each version others adapt the existing 
parser to support the additional versions as they are added.

My one comment on this is writing a single parser that can support 
multiple versions is very complex and so far I have seen a lot of 
mistakes where this is attempted - personally I believe that the long 
term maintainability of the parsers should take higher priority than 
minimising the amount of code.

Darran Lofthouse.
