Enhance PersistenceUtil to allow initialization

[lukasj]

Hello,

at the moment the javax.persistence.PersistenceUtil provides methods to determine the load state of an entity. It would be also nice if we had methods to initialize and unproxy if the entity is a proxy object. I know Hibernate already have this in the org.hibernate.Hibernate class. It would be nice to have a pure JPA solution.

Not all JPA implementations have such a concept as a "proxied object", and the majority don't require you to initialise anything. I can't see how this should become standardised ... its based on Hibernate's implementation only AFAIK

This would be good and very easy to add.

Please review proposal #447, which addresses this issue, along with other "missing" functionality of PersistenceUnitUtil.
