(Post-3.0 tracking)

XmlJavaTypeAdapter needs more and better model support.

In particular, it is important to note that an XmlAdapter transforms the type of the java attribute from its declared type to a type determined by the adapter implementation.  Much validation of other annotations depends on this attribute type being interpreted correctly.

Added support for adapting attributes whether the annotation is on:
- the attribute itself
- the class to be adapted
- the package containing the attribute
- the package containing the class to be adapted

Validation proved trickier.  We added the adapted-*to* type to the JAXB context, and that applies default mapping information, so any validation of *that* type will be performed.  But pretty much any type will automatically be mapped, so beyond that, there's not much to be done.

Support added for 3.1 M3
