Description

Add options to Binding URLs to allow specifying exchange properties when using custom exchanges.

When using AMQP 0-8/0-9/0-9-1 it is necessary to use the BindingURL destination format. Due to the clients historic silo'd use of the mandatory amq.direct and amq.topic for Queues and Topics respectively, the BindingURL syntax doesn't provide any means to specify the properties of the exchanges for which the client implicitly sends exchange-declare commands during producer/consumer creation. This severely limits the clients ability to use custom exchanges and interact with systems which already do.
