Introduce adaptable pattern for providing functionality blocks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is currently not possible to access view-specific functionality, e.g. 
running layouts on graphs, automatically. The goal of this task is to add the 
adaptable pattern to views and view content displays to allow call like this 
(example would work on Graph view content display):

GraphLayoutSupport layoutSupport = view.getAdapter(GraphLayoutSupport.class)
// run custom functionality on layoutSupport

The Adaptable interface should contain two methods:

<T> T getAdapter(Class<T> clazz)

boolean isAdaptableTo(Class<?> clazz)
