This change makes ApiDescription and ApiParameterDescription aware of all
of the new features we built into model binding for enhanced DTO support
(uber-binding).
The main change is that instead of sticking just to the declared
parameters on the action itself, we now traverse model metadata and break
the parameters down based on their logical data source.
This means that a model like the below will yield 3 parameters:
public class ProductChangeCommandDTO
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[FromBody]
public ProductDetails Changes { get; set; }
[FromQuery]
public string AdminComments { get; set; }
[FromServices]
public IProductRepository Repository { get; set; }
}
The 'Repository' will be hidden, as it's not related to user input.
Additionally, we treat different sources differently. In the
above example, 'Changes' is from the body and will be treated as a
leaf-node.
However if you use nested DTOs that are bound from the query string (using
[FromQuery]) or similar, we'll recursively explore to find as much
structure as possible.
This information is combined with data from the route template to give a
much more complete picture than we ever could in the past for parameters,
especially when DTO/Command pattern is used.
The ParameterModel and ParameterDescriptor have had a notion of
optionality for a while now, even though all parameters are treated as
'optional' in MVC.
This change removes these settings. Optionality for overloading in webapi
compat shim is reimplemented via a new binder metadata.
Project/Assembly names are all like 'FeatureWebSite' root namespaces
updated accordingly. This makes processing all of the functional tests and
deploying the web sites much simpler.

- VS does not yet format auto-properties nicely; reverted what it did

1) Expose the simplified relative path template by cleaning up constraints, optional and catch all tokens from the template.
2) Expose the parameters on the route template as API parameters.
3) Combine parameters from the route and the action descriptor when the parameter doesn't come from the body. #886 will refine this.
4) Expose optionality and constraints for path parameters. Open question: Should we explicitly expose IsCatchAll?
