Description

KNOX-2950 adds the ability to define custom application alias maps on the Knox gateway level.

It'd be beneficial to have them defined on the topology level like this:

<topology>
   <name>homepage</name>
   <gateway>
   ...
   </gateway>
   ...
   <application>
      <name>token-generation</name>
     <pathAliases>
        <pathAlias>
            <pathToMatch>token-generation<pathToMatch>
            <aliases>tokengen<pathToMatch>
        </pathAlias>
     </pathAliases>
   </application>
   ...
</topology>

Path aliases defined on the topology level take precedence over the gateway-level declarations.

The implementation of this JIRA should include descriptor/HXR parsing too.
