Description
Now, in a servlet 2.5 container, that annotation will not exist, so as an implementation detail, we may need to create a sub-class that contains the actual annotation, that otherwise would not be classloaded. And we should test the scenario where the web.xml explicitly configures for it along with the annotation, to ensure no odd duplicate definition problems arise.

Reverted change to showcase application and added Servlet 3.0 configuration section in the wiki documentation page.
We don't want the default showcase web.xml to use Servlet 3 schema as it must work out of the box on older Servlet 2.5 servers also. Please revert that commit (attach the update web.xml to this JIRA for QA).
Instead, update the Compat config page to add a section for Servlet 3.0 server configuration: http://www.icesoft.org/wiki/display/ICE/Getting+Started+with+the+ICE+Components
Implemented auto-registration of CompatResourceServlet in Servlet 3.0 compliant servers (as described above). Tested successfully the case where the servlet is registered using annotations and in web.xml.
Modified showcase's web.xml to use servlet 3.0 XML schema and removed the configuration for CompatResourceSErvlet.
The auto configuring resource servlet was removed to avoid confusing our customers. Compat components is old technology that doesn't need to be updated to use the latest specs. Also the magic mapping might be undesirable when users drop icefaces-compat.jar into the classpath without intenting to use any of the included components.
