Description Alexander Nyßen

Currently, adapter keys can only be based on classes, i.e. using parameterized types is not possible. We should add support for using type literals (as offered by Google Guice) as adapter keys, so parameterized types may be used as well. This would allow to differentiate a 'Provider<IFXAdapter>' adapter key from a 'Provider<IGeometry>' one. Up to now, only the raw type 'Provider' can be used within an adapter key.

Added support for registering und retrieving adapters via com.google.common.reflect.TypeTokens, which allows to use parameterized types as well. Added tests to (newly created) org.eclipse.gef4.common.tests bundle to demonstrate the behavior. 

All changes pushed to origin/master. Resolving as fixed in 3.10.0M4.
