Add MapperFeature.INFER_CREATOR_FROM_CONSTRUCTOR_PROPERTIES to allow disabling use of @ConstructorProperties as explicit @JsonCreator equivalent

[cowtowncoder]

One challenge with frameworks like Lombok, auto-values and Immutables is that they often automatically (or at least by default) add JDK7 JDK6 @ ConstructorProperties annotation for constructor(s). This makes sense, in general, but may be problematic for Jackson since as of 2.8 that is equivalent to specifying @JsonCreator, which may not always be what is intended.

One thing that can help resolve issues is to add a new MapperFeature, enabled by default, that determines whether @ ConstructorProperties means same as explicit @JconCreator (enabled) or not (disabled). If not, parameter names are still available as implicit names, and explicit @JsonCreator may be used.

Note that this requires #1369 as well.

@cowtowncoder can this be backported to 2.8 branch? 2.9 is not yet released, and this caveat is causing headaches with Lombok, and is not very easy to identify

[cowtowncoder]

@tsabirgaliev Unfortunately it being an API addition it can not be backported.

The issue description and release notes seem to have a typo, as the annotation is @ConstructorProperties, not @CreatorProperties. Also, it was introduced in JDK 6, not 7.

@electrum thank you, I will fix title. But as to JDK... wow. You are right, javadocs do confirm it was in JDK 6. Not sure how I misread that, but it was added in JDK 7 module.

Thanks, I see you updated the tittle, but there are a couple other references in the description, too.
