Title: [master only] AS7-5091 Add support for a combined deployment descriptor

This adds support for a combined deployment descriptor, that be be used in place of current jboss specific descriptors.

There are 2 main reasons for this:
1) Potentially reduce the number of XML config files that a developer has to deal with (although all current descriptors will stay supported).
2) Make it easy to add per-deployment configuration options without the need to introduce a new 1 or 2 line descriptor (e.g. there is a currently open PR for a jboss-jpa.xml descriptor that has a single option). This will allow these settings to simply be a namespace in a file, rather than requiring a whole new descriptor.
