Introduce system property to preserve backwards compatibility of Util.object{To,From}ByteBuffer()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-294
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-294
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 2.3 SP1
            Reporter: Bela Ban
         Assigned To: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.4


Because of the HAPartitionImpl marshalling issue we found in 4.0.x last
night, 2.4 is not going to work in 4.0.2 (or any 4.0 before 4.0.5.GA).

A workaround for this is to check a system property in a static
initializer in Util. If "compatibility mode" or whatever, fall back to
the old Util.objectTo/FromByteBuffer impl. Users of old AS releases
would have to set this property to use 2.4 or higher.

But, it seems I have system properties on the brain these days; its
starting to look like a golden hammer, so proceed with caution ;)

BTW, the JIRA to ensure this isn't an issue for 4.0.5.GA is
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3593.
