Easy EOEditingContext subclassing via er.extensions.ERXEC.editingCont…

…extClassName

Uses the value of the er.extensions.ERXEC.editingContextClassName property to get  the name of the class to be instantiated and returned by ERXEC.DefaultFactory's _createEditingContext() core method.

It should work with ERXObjectStoreCoordinatorPool which installs its own editing context factory which is an instance of MultiOSCFactory which uses the ERXEC factory setup initially to create editing contexts and which happens to be an ERXEC.DefaultFactory.
