Description

With the rewrite of the jcr installer the PID changed from:
org.apache.sling.jcr.install.impl.JcrInstaller
to
org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr.impl.JcrInstaller

We should support potential configurations with the old PID by:

• registering a managed service for the old pid
• if a configuration arrives with the old pid, these values overwrite values from the new PID
• log a warning in such cases

All other mechanisms like trying to merge the configs are bound to fail. As there are only a few users having an own configuration for this service anyway, this is the best possible solution
