Description

This is a pretty big refactoring, and touch most of the released modules, if not all.

In particular, the responsibility for creating the transaction manager must move out of the object store, and instead be a standalone component (with its own Installer impl etc).

It might make sense to rename the existing IsisTransactionManager to IsisSimpleTranasctionManager or equivalent, and to have a JTA-specific implementation that delegates as much as possible to the underlying JEE runtime.
