    This PR is work in progress.
    
    For now, the idea is to provide a way to specify how is evaluated the 
expression language: against attributes of incoming flow files (+ registries) 
or only the variables in registries. The current PR also deprecates the 
existing ``.expressionLanguageSupported(boolean)`` method.
    
    This PR updates the documentation generation to display the information in 
the documentation of each processor. Example:

    Remaining work:
    - update all the existing processors to switch to the correct method / scope
    - add this information in the UI (in the tooltip of the properties)
    
    The objective of this current PR is to get feedbacks from the community 
regarding the current approach before updating all the existing processors.
    
    Thanks!
