Add support for setting resultType on Simple expressions
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CAMEL-4090
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4090
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: camel-core
            Reporter: Claus Ibsen
            Assignee: Claus Ibsen
             Fix For: 2.8.0


When people are using the simple expression such as setting a header etc, they 
may want to control what the result type of the expression is. Suppose they 
want to set a boolean

{code:xml}
<setHeader headerName="foo">
  <simple>true</simple>
</setHeader>
{code}

What happens is that the type of the foo header will be a String as thats the 
default type from a simple expression.

We should add the resultType attribute which other expressions has such as 
XPath/XQuery etc.
Then you can do as follows:
{code:xml}
<setHeader headerName="foo">
  <simple resultType="java.lang.Boolean">true</simple>
</setHeader>
{code}

Likewise it should be possible in Java DSL.
