Description

Officially the content of the <configuration> element in a toolchain was free of structure, although we only know Properties-like structures.

To improve the automatic handling by Modello, it is better to drop the free structure and change it to Properties like it was done in MNG-5718 for <provides>.
The jdk toolchain will be modified accordingly, being transparent for users.

But any custom toolchain implementation will need to be updated.
