[FELIX-5761] Expose service information by type (and not only by id)

Description

Currently service information can only be retrieved for all services (via /system/console/services.json) or for a particular service by id (/system/console/services/<service id>.json). Since the ID is something which is impossible to predict it would be useful to list those services implementing a given type. For that https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/webconsole/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/webconsole/internal/core/ServicesServlet.java needs to be extended so that not only an ID is extracted from the last path part of the request url, but also optionally a type information. The returned JSON should expose all services implementing that type.

This is e.g. useful in the context where an IT needs to wait for a particular service to be registered (SLING-7297).
