Description

Create a masterslave configuration that provides an equivalent of the current recommended way to setup a network connection to a master/slave pair more intuitively.
Current recommendation:

networkConnector uri="static:(failover:(tcp://master,tcp://slave)?randomize=false&maxReconnectAttempts=0)"

Proposed new syntax (functionally equivalent)

networkConnector uri="masterslave:(tcp://master,tcp://slave)"

Thanks to Scott Cranton <scranton fusesource.com> for the inspiration and initial impl.
