Description

currently the oak api only allows to access a given property state from
the parent tree. however the jcr api also allows to access properties
directly from the session object (see also OAK-218) and we should/cannot not
rely on the accessibility of the parent node.

possible solutions include for example adding Root#getProperty(String path)
in analogy to Root#getTree.
