Florian Schmaus 3d4e7938a7 Make ExtensionElement marker interface wrt. QNAME field
ExtensionElement is now a marker interface that requires all
implementation non-abstract classes to carry a static final QNAME
field (of type QName). This is verified by a new unit test.

Also FullyQualifiedElement is renamed to simply XmlElement. XmlElement
is used over ExtensionElement when implementing classes do not
statically know the qualified name of the XML elements they
represent. In general, XmlElement should be used sparingly, and every
XML element should be modeled by its own Java class (implementing
ExtensionElement).

/**
* This interface defines {@link ExtensionElement} implementations that contain other
* extensions. This effectively extends the idea of an extension within one of the
* top level {@link Stanza} types to consider any embedded element to be an extension
* of its parent. This more easily enables the usage of some of Smacks parsing
* utilities such as {@link PacketParserUtils#parseExtensionElement(String, String, org.jivesoftware.smack.xml.XmlPullParser, org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.XmlEnvironment)} to be used
* to parse any element of the XML being parsed.
*
* <p>Top level extensions have only one element, but they can have multiple children, or
* their children can have multiple children. This interface is a way of allowing extensions
* to be embedded within one another as a partial or complete one to one mapping of extension
* to element.
