Allow to resolve different virtual type according to the entity config
One possible use case of the composer is to have a custom palette that
represents several elements ("virutal types") that are based on the same
brooklyn type with different brooklyn configuration (referencing different
external element like docker image or, in our case, UForge appliance).
In that use case, with the following yaml
```
services:
- type: com.usharesoft.brooklyn.type.LinuxAppliance
brooklyn.config:
applianceUUID: 'AAAA-AAAA-AAAA'
- type: com.usharesoft.brooklyn.type.LinuxAppliance
brooklyn.config:
applianceUUID: 'BBBB-BBBB-BBBB'
- type: com.usharesoft.brooklyn.type.LinuxAppliance
brooklyn.config:
applianceUUID: 'AAAA-AAAA-AAAA'
```
the three services of the same
`com.usharesoft.brooklyn.type.LinuxAppliance` brooklyn type should be resolved
by two different "virtual" types from the composer point of view, one for the
reference `AAAA-AAAA-AAAA` and one for the reference `BBBB-BBBB-BBBB`.
So that graphically we can have when switching from the yaml editor to the
graphical editor
In order to be able to do that, we need to add an extra third parameters
with the entity configuration when the type is resolved by the palette-api
provider (when the user switch from the yaml editor to the graphical editor).
In the standard use case of the palette, this extra parameter is ignored
and the palette-api simply calls the catalog-api as before.
PS: it's one of my first pull request on the project so don't hesitate to
correct me and to tell me the proper way of doing it. Thanks !
