[OPENJPA-2027] Metamodel genereated at runtime expects ListAttribute for all arrays - not just PersistentCollections.

Description

This is the runtime portion of the problem reported in OPENJPA-2025.

The problem here is that every array is treated as a list attribute. If the array is annotated with the @PersistentCollection annotation it makes sense to treat it like the other collection types, but in the case of an un-annotated byte[] (blob), or char[] (varchar), it makes more sense to use a SingularAttribute.

Issue Links

• is depended upon by: OPENJPA-2025 Byte[] and Char[] should be treated as SingularAttributes, not lists by the metamodel generator
• is related to: OPENJPA-2070 Error processing while populating Metamodel classes needs improvement
• relates to: OPENJPA-2060 AnnotationProcess failed to generate metadata for List<String>[] attribute in entity
