Pass the ConnectorFactory to getPopulatedConfigForm

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Pass the ConnectorFactory to getPopulatedConfigForm. We probably want a new 
interface for 
this, to avoid breaking existing connectors.

The rationale here is it makes it easier to migrate configuration properties 
from 
connectorInstance.xml to the form. ConnectorFactory indirectly provides access 
to the properties in 
the XML file. Right now it's possible to move property values from 
connectorInstance.xml, but you 
have to do it in validateConfig, which is less obvious to the user. That means 
instead of seeing the 
migrated properties immediately, the user has to click Save Configuration, then 
validateConfig can 
do the migration and return a new form with the edited properties.
