[configuration] New getters for the Configuration interface

[Emmanuel Bourg]

I'd like to suggest the addition of new getters to the Configuration interface. There are some types of properties that I use to put in my configuration files, I think that [configuration] could spare the burden of parsing them repeatedly.

The methods I would add are :

getLocale(String key, Locale defaultValue)

getURL(String key, URL defaultValue)

getDate(String key, String pattern, Date defaultValue)

getCalendar(String key, String pattern, Calendar defaultValue)

getInternetAddress(String key, InternetAddress defaultValue)

getInternetAddressArray(String key)
