Combine JavaSpecification and JavaIntrospector, and make the mechanism for 
ordering members more explicit.

                 Key: ISIS-68
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-68
             Project: Isis
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core: MetaModel
            Reporter: Dan Haywood
            Priority: Minor


There is no real separation of responsibilities between JavaSpecification and 
JavaIntrospector... the responsibility for introspecting is really a 
responsibility of the FacetFactories that make up the programming model in 
action.  These two classes should therefore be combined.

In addition, the JavaIntrospector currently takes responsibility for applying 
the ordering of members.  In the future we might want to make this a 
"post-processing" operation, in effect overlaying a UI "schema" for the layout 
of object members.  (The MetaWidget library does something like this, to good 
effect).

As a first step, we should make clear the raw set of associations/actions; and 
then make clear the transformation of these sets into ordered/laid out sets.
