Consistently create body for short tags.

                 Key: WICKET-2650
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2650
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Maarten Billemont


When the Wicket HTML contains a tag such as <a wicket:id="foo" /> and the 
component bound to that tag uses replaceComponentTagBody to write a string to 
the tag's body, currently nothing happens.

Either a text node should be added to the component tag and the body written to 
it;
Or a warning/exception should occur if for some reason it is preferred to not 
let this method succeed when the component tag has no body yet.

I don't see the use of the latter, so I recommend the former be implemented.

For now it's just confusing and dangerous.  If I give my HTML to a web designed 
and he changes a few empty HTML tags to short tags, I'll never be warned, but 
my output WILL be broken.
