Add hamcrest matcher for path expressions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For example

{
   "id" : "id", 
    "_links": {
        "self": {
            "href": "http://localhost:8080/"
        }
    }
}

Add support for:

get("/x").then().assertThat().body("_links.self.href", 
equalTo("http://localhost:8080/"+path("id")));

We probably need to add something more generic, e.g.

get("/x").then().assertThat().body("_links.self.href", new 
ResponseAwareMatcher() {
      public Matcher<String> matcher(Response r) {
           return equalTo("http://localhost:8080/"+r.path("id"));
      }                      
});

Static methods can also be added, e.g.

.body("_links.self.href", ResponseAwareMatcher .equalToPath("id"))
.body("_links.self.href", ResponseAwareMatcher .endsWithPath("id"))
.body("_links.self.href", ResponseAwareMatcher .containsPath("id"))
..

Would be nice if it could be combined with formatter (String.format) somehow.

Also the returned Matcher must be of type Object
