Steven Hawkins resolved TEIID-606.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


Changed all console property panels to only have a concept of hiding expert properties - and insured that required properties without a default are not treated as expert (which is a metadata error).  Previously we've ensured that no required values are marked as expert - however is perfectly fine to have a required value in an expert field as long as it has an acceptable default.   

In general we have too much metadata: 

required from multiplicity 0..1, 1
hasDefault
expert
hidden
preferred
modifiable

which gives us 64 possible state combinations.  we should simply treat hidden should mean the same as !modifiable, and !expert should mean the same thing as preferred.  Assuming that !modifiable means to not display the value regarless of the other metadata.  That leaves us with only 8 states to consider based upon required/expert/hasDefault - but there's only 1 state we even care about the presense of a default value (other than for a display color).  That leaves us with:

required  	expert  modifiable 	outcome
t		t	t		1) Valid only if there is a default value, then it's an Editable property that should only be shown in expert mode
t		f	t		2) Editable property that should always be shown
f		t	t		3) Editable optional property that should be shown only in expert
f		f	t		4) Editable optional property that should always be shown

>From a display perspective we will by default show cases 2 and 4 and then show 1 and 3 if show expert is selected.

> The Teiid Console connector bindings properties panel does not show the Password property until the user checks the optional properties box.  The password property has always been visable without requiring user to check the optional properties.  It seems more like a primary property than an optional property and from a usability standpoint should not be hidden.
