New Java API: creating Encoder

[ktoso]

The old JavaDSL does not allow creating Encoder instances in javadsl.
The new one will be able to, we just need to add it ;-)

See https://github.com/akka/akka/pull/19632/files#r52922741 for context

Same holds for Decoder as well.

Right, thanks :)

@ktoso, as far as I understand enum akka.http.javadsl.server.Coder should be changed to be able to create custom Coder like described in https://blogs.oracle.com/darcy/entry/enums_and_mixins ?
Also can Java 8 create instance of trait akka.http.scaladsl.coding.Coder (that extends Encoder with Decoder)? If the anser is -no-, than need to look to another approach with splitting encoder and decoder in Java API
