[REVIEW] Make controller instantiation customizable

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

Having thought about this even more I think classloading is not the only
thing people might customize, the same goes for event and field binding,
all what I'd summerize below resolving and wireing.

I think we could address some of Daniel's requests and the classloading
with one delegating class people could customize.

It could look like this:

FXMLLoader f ....
f.setWireing(new DefaultWireing() {

  @Override
  public Class<?> loadClass(String fxmlFileId, String name) {

  }

  @Override
  public ElementBinder getControllerElementBinder(
    String fxmlFileId,
    Object controller, // might be null
    String elementId) {

  }

  @Override
  public MethodBinder getControllerMethodBinder(
     String fxmlFileId,
     Object controller, // might be null
     String methodName,
     Class<?>... arguments) {

  }

  @Override
  public String loadIncludeFile(
      String fxmlFileId,
      String includeFilePath) {

  }

});

The reason I think FXMLLoader#setClassloader(Classloader)) is not enough
is that one could include a child fxml-Files who might need a complete
different Classloader.

To identify a fxml-File I'd suggest to add something like fx:componentid
but this is not a must and we could also pass the FQN-Name of the
fxml-File to identify it.
