Description Alexander Nyßen

Currently, IBendableContentPart restricts the visual to be a Connection. This restriction is not required, as only certain parts of the default behavior are specific for Connections. We should thus remove this restriction.

Deprecated the getBendableVisual() method, stating it no longer has to be implemented, preserving the default behavior in case the visual is a Connection. 
Adjusted all callers to use IVisualPart.getVisual() instead.

Resolving as fixed in 5.3.1 RC1.
