* Replaces the identification of "evaluate" methods by a custom
  annotation that takes the parent Evaluator class as its argument to
  differentiate between evaluate methods across Evaluator boundaries.
  This is required by the binding mechanism of Guice.
* Not yet ported Evaluators are not aligned with the new Annotation.
* Bug Fixes:
** Register the MappingConstraintEvaluator.
** Correct the constructor of the MappingConstraintEvaluator.
** Fix parameter list of its evaluate method.

Rover partition generation

* An injection exception occurred when launching the MOEA DSE a second
  time from the same AF3 instance. Here, operator modules that maintain
  an internal map keep the entries of the previous run (which are
  replaced). This triggered an equals check of operator keys when the
  operators for the next execution should be placed in the internal
  operator selector maps. Within the equals check, one operator (from
  the prev. execution) had an instance of the operator such that the
  comparision would be based on the operator instances. Thus, an
  operator would be instantiated by the given injector during the
  binding phase causing the Exception.
* In order to obtain a correct operator representation in the internal
  maps an to resolve the above problem, base the Operator Key hash and
  equals method on the OperatorTypes only. We only allow one operator
  type per genotype anyways such that the new equals operation correctly
  implements the concept and "old" operator instances are cleaned out.

* Use scope enter and exit calls to clean cached objects in thread-
  specific caches such as the PhenotypeCache that is used to collect the
  results of the decoders in  a single top-most decode() call.
* Add the @ThreadedMethod annotation to trigger the Treaded scope entry
  and exit calls for cache handling. It denotes that the code within
  such an annotated method places objects the cache that need to be
  removed after exiting the method. An method interceptor is used for
  this purpose.
* Pass Injectors to demanding classes such as the GuiceDecoder by the
  Provides mechanisms.
* Extend the usage of the injector to generate objects (not DSE-process
  specific objects).

* Modify the Dependency Visitor such that it can also evaluate the
  providers of artifacts instead of the artifacts alone.
* Install only those Decoders and Creators in the DSE Process that are
  actually needed to produce the result types.
* Correct the ThreadScope implementation.
* Add a thread-local cache for the parallelized decode phase that
  collects the created Phenotypes.
* Modify the cache mechanism for the create phase similar to the
  thread-local cache of the decode phase.
* Change the register mechanism of CreatorModules and OperatorModules
  such that they can be associated with their corresponding Genotype
  more easily.
* CreatorModules used in the DSE process are now created by Guice to
  allow method interception (evil bug fixed).

* ExplorationFeatures:
** Add a method to the IExplorationFeatures that checks whether the
   available input system models justify the application of a certain
   feature. This is intended to detect cases where an ExplorationFeature
   would degenerate to a No-Op such that it is useless to be executed.
** Add a utility method that returns the set of ExplorationFeatures,
   which are enabled by the user (by a DseSpecificiation) and applicable
   to the given input system models.
** Change the ExplorationFeature(Service) such that a stronger coupling
   between Genotypes and its Creators and Operators exist: It is
   required to correctly register the operators with their corresponding
   Genotypes.
* Copying:
** Add a "Copyable" interface that enforces the existence of a copy
   statement. This is the inverse approach as the Cloneable marker
   interface of Java.
** Add a mechanism that installs a default CopyModule if no specialized
   CopyModule is provided for a given Genotype. This implementation
   relies on the existence of the Copyable interface for each Genotype.

* Switch the ExplorationEvaluationService to not rely on eclipse
  extension points but use java registration methods. This service has
  now a close relation to the ExplorationFeatureService that holds all
  ExplorationModules.
  Additional information and logic required for evaluation is found in
  the ExplorationEvaluationService.
* Register the MappingEvaluatorObjective for DSML Expressions and the
  EvaluatorModules specific for the ParitionExploration.
* Add the @Provides annotation to each evaluation function such that
  their method parameters are automatically injected by Guice.
* Extract the parsing of IExpressions to parsers which are called from
  the corresponding IExplorationModules.
* Provisioning interception:
  * Generalize the DecodingInterceptor into a ProvisionInterceptor such
    that it can be used for the create phase as well. Along, make the
    update mechanism via sub-modules providing same types optional (used
    only in the decode phase).
  * Add an Interceptor module such that already created Genotypes can be
    provided to other create methods that depend upon them. This avoids
    launching the create method for the same time several times, causing
    inconsistencies between the Genotypes.
  * Add a @Creates annotation for method interception binding.
* Add additionally required @Provides annotation in the
  SystemModelAdaper.
* Create a TaskMapper that encapsulates the Task -> ITaskAdapter
  associations. It is used, for instance, in the evaluators where the
  ExplorationTargets are defined on AF3 elements whereas the DSE
  internally works on reduced elements.
* Remove the non-used cglib library.
* Add the ByteBuddy library (v1.8.17) to be able to generate code at
  runtime. It is used to generate Provider Classes (using @Provides
  methods) that are supplied to the injectors of follow up phases (e.g.,
  decode -> evaluate) such that previous results are available to these
  injectors.
* NOTE / IMPORTANT: This commit leaves several outdated and (now) unused
  classes in place. They will be removed in follow up commits.

* If a phenotype is requested as an input parameter by multiple
  decode methods, the decoding chain would be launched many times.
  In order to increase performance, remember the already decoded
  phenotypes in the GuiceDecoder and return them in case of subsequent
  requests.
* Extend the decoding interceptor such that it request the map of
  already decoded phenotypes and looks for already decoded phenotypes.
  If one is found it is returned instaed of invoking the decode method.
* All decode methods are now intercepted by the above mentioned
  interceptor. Decode methods MUST be annotated with "@Decodes" from now
  on.
* Plugin-style decoders are still supported by marking Phenotypes if
  they are processed by sub-decoders. Otherwise, only sub-decoders would 
  be executed due to them placing the produced Phenotype in the above
  mentioned map.
