DATACMNS-693 - AbstractMappingContext now uses Spring's BeanUtils to lookup PropertyDescriptors.

Instead of manually using Introspector.getBeanInfo(…) we now use Spring's BeanUtils.getPropertyDescriptors(…) to benefit from some caching of descriptor instances as well as advanced support for fluent setters, default methods etc.
