Visually verified code and did a contrib check build. In a standalone
instance, I tested many different expressions using ifElse and all worked as
expected. Thanks @mattyb149 I will merge it in.
> Add ifElse function to Expression Language

> Although UpdateAttribute's Advanced tab lets the user perform conditional
> processing (if-else, e.g.), it would be nice to allow for simple conditionals
> wherever Expression Language is supported.
> For example, in any EL-supported property, I could specify (with an attribute
> "filename" for example):
> ${filename:isNull():ifElse('not_found', 'found')}
> Then if filename is null this will evaluate to 'not_found', and if it is
> non-null it would evaluate to 'found'. For consistency the subject should be
> allowed to be anything that can be evaluated as a boolean, so if "myVal" is
> set to the string "true", then:
> ${myVal:ifElse('a', 'b')}
> should evaluate to 'a'
