@Entity with @Embedded List<T> causes it to not render propertly

This test case exposes a glitch in Spring Data REST, probably because it confused when handling more than one item when rendering a link.

In the test case, change LineItem inside Order to List<LineItem> to simulate multiple entries, and the the line items themselves won't render
the target property, probably because the target property needs to move from top level _links to an embedded link for each line Item
