Develop 1296

Pull request for #1296 for 10.0-8

The rebase didn't apply cleanly, so I will need to clean up during the merge to make sure that everything is preserved.

Anyway, this refactoring of the Data Services implementation introduces a handle provider class so native content representations like String and InputStream can continue to be supported for existing types but adapters with a document format like StringHandle and InputStreamHandle can be supported for the new anyDocument type.

Thanks Erik for having this in this release!

Hi @ehennum , I see there are 12 commits in your pull request, https://github.com/marklogic/java-client-api/pull/1303/commits. I would guess only the last 4 are your intended commits. Is there a problem including so many old commits together?

Hi, @llinggit -- thanks for reviewing the changes. The other commits are the result of rebasing on top of changes to develop since the start of this branch.

If there's a better git technique than rebase for merging without overwriting changes on develop, please just let me know.

Just to be clear, I will hold off on merging until after the release.
