This is a major refactor of how IBinderMetadata interacts with model
binders and value providers. We're doing this to support better
extensibility for metadata in ApiExplorer.
You'll notice a bunch of deleted code in DefaultApiDescriptionProvider
that maps metadata marker interfaces to a fixed list of Api sources. This
is replaced now with IBindingSourceMetadata - which also replaces the
hierarchy of marker interfaces. Now user code can create an arbitrary
binding source and have a consistent API for model-binders,
value-providers and full-visibility in ApiExplorer as
well.
Additonally, there's some error checking in place that better enforces the
constraints we already have in the system. IE you can't create a 'greedy'
model binder that uses value-provider data.
Two additional enhancements are planned for followup PRs:
1. Add a BindingSource property to model-metadata. This will remove some
duplication, but I want to delay it because it would touch another 10 or
so files.
2. Add an extensibility interface for our 'special' model binders like the
file binder so these can show up in ApiExplorer as well.

Adds the set of CreateResponse/CreateErrorResponse extension methods that
return an HttpResponseMessage.
For the overloads that perform content negotiation they will access the
collection of MediaTypeFormatters through the shim options. Note that
CreateResponse and friends use the OLD formatters.
Also, HttpError and CreateErrorResponse assume ErrorDetail == false. Using
the shim you will not get detailed error messages unless you construct the
HttpError instance yourself.
This change adds ApplicationModel conventions that can enable WebAPI
action conventions (verb mapping) and WebAPI overloading.
The conventions activate when a controller has a marker attribute.
ApiController has this attribute, so any ported code will automatically
opt-in.
Also ported some old tests for action selection to our new functional test
framework.
