msm-javolution-serializer: java.util.Currency gets deserialized with ReflectionFormat

[GoogleCodeExporter]

java.util.Currency gets serialized and deserialized with the
ReflectionFormat which always creates new instances during deserialization.

The transient field defaultFractionDigits is then always zero and a
comparision with equals may return false even if the currencyCode is equal
since it is just Object.equals(). Only one instance should exist for each
currencyCode.

This applies to all Versions up to and including 1.2-SNAPSHOT.

I've added a patch that provides a special XMLFormat for Currency that
resolves the issue.

• Added labels: Milestone-1.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Patch applied, added test case.

Additionally made these changes:
- Exclude currencies from reference handling as the XMLCurrencyFormat uses 
Currency.getInstance
- Support serialization of currency as an attribute (using currency code)

Changes are merged to develop branch, this will be released with 1.2
