Title: Redirect lookup requests for the 'nexus' RealmSecurityManager

We should redirect such requests to the default binding, since we now use the 'noSessionCreation' filter for non-login services. These requests are likely to come from old installations of Nexus that have 'nexus' as the securityManager setting in their security-configuration.xml. Note that Nexus will still work without this redirect, the old 'nexus' component is just doing unnecessary work determining the client (ie. stateless vs stateful).

Also note that the old stateless and stateful RealmSecurityManager is still available under the 'stateless-and-stateful' hint in case it is required for some reason.
