added an auto-discovery mechanism for extension points (and most notably Descriptors.)

- extensions are now stored in ExtensionList.
- discovery is extensible, but by default we use Sezpoz for annotation-based injection. This requires JDK6 for build.
- a care has been taken to preserve backward compatibility. DescriptorList and manually adding to it continues to work.
- AdministrativeMonitor is converted to use the new approach entirely, as a guinea pig of this feature.
- Descriptors for View is partially switched to this new approach, where some classes register automatically while others do manually. This tests the compatibility aspect of this feature.

A pluggable discovery is an attempt to embrace Plexus integration work, although for that to really work we need more coding.

Next stop, more tests.

+ * Marks a field, a method, or a class for automatic discovery, so that Hudson can locate
+ * implementations of {@link ExtensionPoint}s automatically.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * (In contrast, in earlier Hudson, the registration was manual.)
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * In a simplest case, put this on your class, and Hudson will create an instance of it
+ * and register it to the appropriate {@link ExtensionList}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * If you'd like Hudson to call
+ * a factory method instead of a constructor, put this annotation on your static factory
+ * method. Hudson will invoke it and if the method returns a non-null instance, it'll be
+ * registered. The return type of the method is used to determine which {@link ExtensionList}
+ * will get the instance.
+ *
+ * Finally, you can put this annotation on a static field if the field contains a reference
+ * to an instance that you'd like to register.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This is the default way of having your implementations auto-registered to Hudson,
+ * but Hudson also supports arbitrary DI containers for hosting your implementations.
+ * See {@link ExtensionFinder} for more details.
