Change the Bootstrap API to accept "Bootstrap Descriptors" programmatically
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBBOOT-118
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBBOOT-118
             Project: JBoss Bootstrap
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: api, api-as, impl-as, impl-base
            Reporter: Andrew Lee Rubinger
            Assignee: Andrew Lee Rubinger
             Fix For: 2.1.0-alpha-1


Passing a main "bootstrap.xml" into an MCServer assumes that consuming projects have a predefined descriptor available.  With RELOADED-10 we see that clients may prefer a mechanism in which they programmatically assemble a main bootstrap from a combination of "bootstrap descriptors" (which used to be called "sub-urls" from the main "bootstrap URL".

Refactor the API such that clients may pass in descriptors from a variety of formats, and keep the change hidden to AS, which will still work off the older "bootstrap.xml" notion.
