[undertow-dev] Undertow development mode

[Tomaž Cerar]

We need to add this development flag on higher level then just undertow
subsystem.

It should be server-wide configuration.
this would enable also other subsystems to behave differently, like the jsf
about forcing jsf/facelets development.

maybe we can add this to top level element of server? aka <server
xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:2.0" development-mode="true">

Max for now this is mgmt configuration for servlet-container but we could
easily set default value to be passed from system property.
