Description

It would be great to support OBR index.xml directly in features XML.

I propose a two steps support:
1. add a <index/> or <obr/> element in features XML to be able to load a resource repository (index.xml, a bit like we do in resourceRepositories in etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg)
2. "extend" the <bundle/> element to support the artifacts name (symbolicName and version range)
