#340 - Add new Affordances API + HAL-FORMS mediatype.

* Introduces new Affordances API to build links related to each other to serve other mediatypes
* Introduces HAL-FORMS, which uses affordances to automatically generate HTML form data based on Spring MVC annotations.

 === CurieProvider API
 
-The http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5988=section-4[Web Linking RFC] describes registered and extension link relation types. Registered rels are well-known strings registered with the http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml[IANA registry of link relation types]. Extension rels can be used by applications that do not wish to register a relation type. They are a URI that uniquely identifies the relation type. The rel URI can be serialized as a compact URI or http://www.w3.org/TR/curie[Curie]. E.g. a curie `ex:persons` stands for the link relation type `http://example.com/rels/persons` if `ex` is defined as `http://example.com/rels/{rels}`. If curies are used, the base URI must be present in the response scope.
+The http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5988=section-4[Web Linking RFC] describes registered and extension link relation types.

Extension rels can be used by applications that do not wish to register a relation type. They are a URI that uniquely identifies the relation type.

If curies are used, the base URI must be present in the response scope.
 
 The rels created by the default `RelProvider` are extension relation types and as such must be URIs, which can cause a lot of overhead. The `CurieProvider` API takes care of that: it allows to define a base URI as URI template and a prefix which stands for that base URI. If a `CurieProvider` is present, the `RelProvider` prepends all rels with the curie prefix. Furthermore a `curies` link is automatically added to the HAL resource.
