#992 - Remove URI restriction in HAL-FORMS implementation.

Prior to this commit the HAL-FORMS implementation verified the URIs of the affordances to match the self link of the representation model. This prevents the implementation of the HAL-FORMS metadata lookup protocol as defined in the HAL-FORMS specification [0].

We removed the verification to allow alternate URIs to be used for the afforances.
