eXtended Objects 0.3.0

• #51 The project has been renamed from "Composite Data Objects" to "eXtended Objects"
• #93 CompositeObject and XOManager now provide getId() methods
• #94 A datastore provider is now available which allows tracing/monitoring of the SPI communcation between the XO object layer and the datastore

Furthermore performance optimizations for transaction and interceptor management have been applied which noteably reduce overhead.
