Support standard AJAX server-side method invocation

[eclipse-faces-bot]

Almost every AJAX framework I know of allows you to
simply execute a method on the server side, with or without params,
and return a result.

JSF should support this behavior. Use cases include:

• Calling a server-side method to return values used to control page behavior.
• Calling a server side method to submit data to the application, returning
  success, failure, or nothing to the UI.

This functionality is already part of the JBoss Ajax4JSF framework, every PHP
ajax framework, and every non-server tech-specific framework (such as Dojo,
Prototype, etc..)

See A4J:jsFunction component –

Move these to unscheduled because we need to target them correctly. 2.next isn't
specific enough.

It's available as <h:commandScript>, which is largely based on OmniFaces <o:commandScript>.

Will close when tests succeed.
