Added convenience classes for typical JSR-236 setup in a Java EE 7 environment

Introduced DefaultManagedTaskExecutor, DefaultManagedTaskScheduler and DefaultManagedAwareThreadFactory classes, revised related javadoc, and deprecated unsupported JBossWorkManagerTaskExecutor in favor of JSR-236 setup on WildFly 8.

Issue: SPR-8195
