* Remove IAssemblyProvider.
* Remove DefaultAssemblyProvider in favor of DefaultAssemblyPartDiscoveryProvider.
* Update AddMvcDnx to add the list of DNX discovered assemblies to the list of application parts.
* Added ViewComponentFeture and ViewComponentFeatureProvider to perform view component discovery.
* Changed view component discovery to use application parts.
* Changed ViewComponentDescriptorProvider to make use of Application parts.
* Added AddViewComponentsAsServices method on IMvcBuilder that performs view component
discovery through the ApplicationPartManager and registers those view components as
services in the service collection. Assemblies should be added to the ApplicationPartManager
in order to discover view components in them in them.
* Added ControllerFeature and ControllerFeatureProvider to perform controller discovery.
* Changed controller discovery to use application parts.
* Changed ControllerActionDescriptorProvider to make use of Application parts.
* Simplified AddControllerAsServices to not accept any parameter and perform
controller discovery through the ApplicationPartManager in the IMvcBuilder
and IMvcCoreBuilder. Assemblies should be added to the ApplicationPartManager
in order to discover controllers in them.
This commit introduces application parts as a concept on MVC.
An application part is an abstraction that allows you to expose some
feature or corncern in a way that is decoupled from their underlying source.
Examples of this include types in an assembly, emdeded resources, files on
disk etc.
Application parts are configured during startup by adding or removing them from
the application part manager available as part of IMvcBuilder and IMvcCoreBuilder.
The application part manager provides the ability to populate features from the
list of available application parts by using a list of application feature providers.
Application feature providers are responsible for populating a given feature given a
list of application parts.
Examples of application providers can be a ControllerFeatureProvider
that goes through the list of application parts, sees which one of those parts exposes types,
determines which of those types are controller types, and adds them to a ControllerFeature
that holds a list of all the types that will be considered controllers in the application.
