Description

See CAMEL-16419

Some users may want to just package their camel apps as a fat-jar via maven assembly plugin (shade plugin is ugly to configure for merging files).

The issue is the type converter loader that uses the same file name per artifact.
We could for camel-core have unique names as its core converters that should always be loaded.

And then. for Camel JARs then we can in fat-jar mode use fallback with classpath discovery and have some other way of finding those unique converter names.
