Make sure that internal collections can be mapped without annotation #92

All collections must be mapped with the annotation BeanCollection, either on the source or target side. Make sure that the annotation is no longer required. The most important element to scan for is the collection element type on the target side.

Currently, all fields of BeanCollection are individually passed through the internals of BeanMapper. Why not pass those as a collection itself?

Works together with issue #90

Issue #92. BeanMapper is now capable of determining the collection element type of the target collection by examining the generic type. It will use this type as input for the mapping process. BeanCollection.elementType is no longer a required value. BeanMapper will merge collection information from target and source, giving preference to target information.

…h AnyToEnumConverter works to create a pre-merge original (ie, MergePair). See also: - 42BV/beanmapper#92 - 42BV/beanmapper#97
