Define which resources to load for module based on OpenMRS version

    Description

      MDS provides support for different versions of OpenMRS within a single module. It is achieved thanks to splitting module's API into jars: mds-api-common.jar, mds-api-1.7.jar, mds-api-1.9.jar. Currently all jars are put on the classpath, even if all we need on OpenMRS 1.6 is mds-api-common.jar. A module developer must be really careful to prevent using any classes from mds-api-1.7.jar or mds-api-1.9.jar on OpenMRS 1.6. In order to make it easier to structure modules this way, I propose to provide a new tag in config.xml:

      <conditionalResources>
  <resource>
    <path>lib/mds-api-common.jar</path>
    <omrsVersion>[1.6)</omrsVersion>
  </resource>
  <resource>
    <path>lib/mds-api-1.7.jar</path>
    <omrsVersion>[1.7)</omrsVersion>
  </resource>
  <resource>
    <path>lib/mds-api-1.9.jar</path>
    <omrsVersion>[1.9)</omrsVersion>
  </resource>
</conditionalResources>

      Such a declaration would result in loading:
      mds-api-common.jar on OMRS 1.6,
      mds-api-common.jar and mds-api-1.7.jar on OMRS 1.7 and 1.8
      mds-api-common.jar, mds-api-1.7.jar and mds-api-1.9.jar on OMRS 1.9
