Description

Improve RequestHandler.makeLink code to manage url generation with surcharge the webapp path.
When a websiteId is present and it have a webappPatch define, use it on the link generation.

Example of use :
You have a httpd serveur that listen on *.mydomaine.com and define virtualHost myEcommerce.mydomaine.com and myCatalog.mydomaine.com
myEcommerce.mydomaine.com is a reverse proxy to myEcommerce.mydomaine.com/ecommerce
myCatalog.mydomaine.com is a reverse proxy to myEcommerce.mydomaine.com/catalog

Natively, all works fine with some parameters on web.xml and controller.xml but each link return are setted like that myEcommerce.mydomaine.com/ecommerce, called by apache httpd to ofbiz by myEcommerce.mydomaine.com/ecommerce/ecommerce and traducted by ofbiz by ERROR ecommerce request-map not found

To solve the situation, I extended WebSite entity with attribute webappPath, init to / for websiteId ecommerce ofbiz instance and /ecommerce for other websiteId liked to other ofbiz instance (dev, back) without apache httpd with limited reverse-proxy.
