Description

currently the context-aware config implementation supports resource inheritance, but not property inheritance, that means no properties gets merged in the resource inheritance chain.

there was a long discussion on the mailing list about this topics with arguments to support this, and other not to support this
http://apache-sling.73963.n3.nabble.com/Context-Aware-Configs-Merging-tt4063382.html

the goal of this ticket is to support it, but make it configurable so it can be switched on and off.
