Description

There's a mismatch between what JCR Webdav remoting (based on jackrabbit SPI) offers, and what Oak uses:

Jackrabbit remoting:

• keys must map to XML elements, thus are restricted in their syntax, and assume that what becomes before a colon is a namespace prefix
• values are assumed to be of type PATH

OAK uses two extension keys in info maps (see OAK-1669)

• keys are JCR property names
• value can either a string or a string array

Right now, jackrabbit-server serializes uses "toString()", so the string array used for jcr:mixinTypes will not get through.
