Title: [master only] AS7-4296 Add support for deployment overlays

Initial version of deployment overlays, needs review by Kabir or Brian (or preferably both).

This commit allows you to define a deployment overlay, that can be used to replace or add content to a deployment without modifying the deployment archive. It is anticipated the main use for this will be overriding deployment descriptors, or adding a jboss-*.xml descriptor without unzipping the archive. This is not limited to deployment descriptors however, and could be used to replace images, web pages etc as well.

In domain mode this currently only allows for deployment overlay links to be made at a server group level. At this stage I am planning to add host / server level support in a later commit.
