Support primitive types for entity attributes #187

Open alexbudarov opened 3 years ago

Need to support primitive types for entity attributes.

Motivation:

Mentioned by Vlad problem with GraphQL and User/UserDetails entity (https://github.com/Haulmont/jmix-templates/issues/28)
Outside developers are often confused why we don't support primitives
"boolean" is much more convenient to use than Boolean, because Boolean null is the same as Boolean false.
Help users to avoid NPEs in code (e.g. with mathematic calculations)

Points to discuss:

Should we offer primitives in Studio entity designer?
