INT-3420 Aggregator expire-groups-upon-timeout

JIRA: https://jira.spring.io/browse/INT-3420

Add option to allow the empty group to remain after timeout
so late arriving messages can be discarded.

INT-3420 Add Callout Hyperlinks

The aggregator configuration documentation had hyperlinks
from the attribute descriptions to the attribute in the
XML, but not vice-versa. For a large number of attributes
such as this, bi-directional hyperlinks are useful.

<title>Expiring Groups</title>
<para>
There are two attributes related to expiring (completely removing) groups. When a group
is expired, there is no record of it and if a new message arrives with the same correlation,
a new group is started. When a group is completed (without expiry), the empty group remains
and late arriving messages are discarded. Empty groups can be removed later using a
<classname>MessageGroupStoreReaper</classname> in combination with the
<code>empty-group-min-timeout</code> attribute.
</para>
<para>
<code>expire-groups-upon-completion</code> relates to "normal" completion - when the
<interfacename>ReleaseStrategy</interfacename> releases the group. This defaults to
<code>false</code>.
</para>
<para>
If a group is not completed normally, but is released or discarded because of a timeout,
the group is normally expired. Since <emphasis>version 4.1</emphasis>, you can now control
this behavior using <code>expire-groups-upon-timeout</code>; this defaults to
<code>true</code> for backwards compatibility.
</para>
<note>
When a group is timed out, the <interfacename>ReleaseStrategy</interfacename> is given
one more opportunity to release the group; if it does so, then expiration is controlled
by <code>expire-groups-upon-completion</code>. If the group is not released by the release
strategy during timeout, then the expiration is controlled by the
<code>expire-groups-upon-timeout</code>. Timed-out groups are either discarded, or a
partial release occurs (based on <code>send-partial-result-on-expiry</code>).
