allow SPI implementation to compute default values for autocreated properties
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JCR-1200
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1200
             Project: Jackrabbit
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SPI
            Reporter: Julian Reschke
            Assignee: Julian Reschke
            Priority: Minor


Currently, when creating nodes in transient space, JCR2SPI uses hard-wired 
logic trying to populate system generated properties such as jcr:created, 
jcr;uuid and so on.

This is problematic as

- it doesn't scale -- it fails for autocreated properties not known to JCR2SPI, 
and

- the syntax for the defaults may be dependant on the back end, such as legal 
syntax for (UU)IDs.

Proposal:

- extend QValueFactory with something like

  QValue computeDefaultValue(QPropertyDefinition)

- use that in JCR2SPI, getting rid of the currently hard-wired logic.
