Prototype Service factory

Prototype service factory

Add support for registering and using prototype service factories for C and C++. Also add support registering and using bundle service factories for C++.

Background

Chapter 5.9 "Service Factory" of the OSGi 8 spec mentions 3 types of scoped service objects:

singleton: A normal service
bundle: Create service instance per requesting bundle
prototype; Create service instance per request

Apache Celix currently only supports the singleton scoped services and bundle scoped service factory (note that OSGi spec 5 only has a bundle scoped service factory).

I just noticed that C++ version of per bundle service factory is not implemented. Recently one user requiring it (as described by #766) is forced to use the SOD pattern, since he does not want to use C interface.

I'm planning to pick up this issue after completing the removal of the deprecated utils and framework APIs. However, if this issue needs to be addressed sooner, please feel free to assign it to someone else.
