DATACMNS-1292 - Improved default setup of XMLBeam.

We now explicitly disable entity expansion in the DocumentBuilderFactory used by XMLBeam.

Introduced constructor in XmlBeamHttpMessageConverter to allow dedicated configuration of an XBProjector instance in case the defaults need tweaking and augmented the web configuration setup to automatically pick up a custom XmlBeamHttpMessageConverter bean instead of our own default if present.
