RESTEasy SPI to modify resource metadata

In  jaxrs

Overview

Provide a SPI allowing to modify the resource metadata which is created from ResourceBuilder

The idea is to create a SPI in RESTEasy to allow altering the metadata of resource classes. The interface for such a SPI would be something like:

public interface ResourceClassProcessor {
    ResourceClass process( ResourceClass clazz );
}

The new processors are meant to be stored using the usual ResteasyProviderFactory.
