Improve UISelectMany to automatically convert based on select items when type is java.util.Collection

[eclipse-faces-bot]

Currently, http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/faces/component/UISelectMany.html states that it won't make any attempt to obtain the converter when the value is of type java.util.Collection. It is technically however possible to automatically convert based on select items.

* <li class="changed_added_2_0"><p>A <code>java.util.Collection</code>.
 * Do not convert the values. <span class="changed_modified_2_3">Instead,
 * convert the provided set of available options to string, exactly as done
 * during render response, and for any match with the submitted values, add
 * the available option as object to the collection.</span></p></li>

Scratch previous commit which was taken over from MyFaces. It didn't properly cover cases when a collection contains items of different types (bad practice, but technically not impossible). Here are the improvements: https://java.net/projects/mojarra/sources/git/revision/bbf7f0e0546b376d6fb8f927f6b2703f5152b184
