Enhancement - mappers for validating HAL responses

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the hal+json type
2. Try to write some body validation

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Even thoughyou can achieve it with the JsonPath support, the body validation 
isn't that legible when you use HAL as a response type. It would be great to 
have some HAL specific mappers so you could validate that a body hasLink or 
hasSelfLink or hasProperty etc. We've searched the net and we can't find any 
HAL specific Hamcrest mappers, so it looks like we'd have to roll our own. I 
think they'd be a great part of this project, and super useful for people that 
used HAL as a media type and wanted to test in a fluent way.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest and greates/OSX

Please provide any additional information below.
