When the elements of a collection/array are not present in the XML document, then the corresponding field/property should be set to null not an empty collection/array.

Fix checked into trunk at rev:  10712

Code reviewed by:
- Denise Smith, Matt MacIvor, and Rick Barkhouse

Fix Details:
- Added a new property to the container mappings called "defaultEmptyContainer".  If true (default for OXM & SDO), then the field/property will be initialized with an empty container, if false (default for JAXB) then it will not.

Checked into 2.3.3 as well.
