[Building Sakai] Overriding complex type in sakai.properties

[Steve Swinsburg]

This looks similar to what I did in 
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-21406

Where you can set an arbitrary number of properties, and then set additional properties that match those properties in the key name. So with two more properties for each of the first properties, image and link, you'd have this done.

user.additional.attribute.count=2
user.additional.attribute.1=college
user.additional.attribute.2=room

user.additional.attribute.display.college=College
user.additional.attribute.display.room=Room No

The tool needs to specifically look at sakai.properties though, and it's no bean override, but it gets the job done.

Cheers,
Steve
