DATACMNS-1377 - ConvertingPropertyAccessor now properly coverts values for property paths.

Previously, ConvertingPropertyAccessor did not override PersistentPropertyAccessor.setProperty(PersistentPropertyPath, Object), so that the target value had to be of the leaf property's type. We now implement that method and convert it into that type before invoking the super method.
