Add API support to move model class to another class or package

[Tomas-Kraus]

Currently it is not possible to manipulate with Code Model in a way that JDefinedClass is moved to another class or package. For that:

• JDefinedClass and JPackage should implement method _class(JClass anotherClass), i.e. opportunity to add existing class.
• The owner of anotherClass should be set to new container, thus there is a need for JDefinedClass#setOuter(JClassContainer newOuter)
• If class is moved to package, its static modifier should be reset, thus there is a need for JMod#setStatic(boolean newValue).

Affected Versions

[2.2.6]

Would be great to reconsider this issue, namely allow JAXB plugins to add/remove classes to/from package and to/from class. For that the appropriate methods could be added to com.sun.codemodel.JPackage and com.sun.codemodel.JDefinedClass (probably should implement the same interface):

JDefinedClass getClass(String name) { return classes.put(name); }
boolean removeClass(String name) { return classes.remove(name); }
void addClass(String name, JDefinedClass clazz) { classes.put(name, clazz); }

Additionally:

JDefinedClass.setContainer(JClassContainer container) { this.outer = container; }
JDefinedClass.setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
