Deal with bundle refresh [PAXEXAM-922]

[ops4j-issues]

Jean-Baptiste Onofre created PAXEXAM-922

In Karaf, it's "classic" to see some features refreshing bundles. Unfortunately, Pax Exam is not able to deal with those refresh and it often fails with:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Invalid BundleContext.

It would be great to find a way to handle the refresh.

The root-cause of this is the usage of the various "swissbox" helper methods that do not handle dynamics very well, IMO we should either rework the swissbox thing or throw it completely away 😉 I have started to refactor several things in this area for the exam-5 line together wit API celanups and improvements in the master branch, but have stopped for now since it is completely unclear how we will proceed with pax-exam 5.
There is a branch from Harald Wellmann but I havent heared from him a long time how we could proceed to integrate that branch with the current master development and bugfixes in the 4.x line ...
