Feature: support java records in addition to java beans as config objects

[pjroth]

ConfigBeanFactory.create supports the ability to create a typed object with a single method call which is very nice. I am using java 17 and would like to use a record instead of a java bean to take advantage of the much reduced boilerplate possible when using java records.

My proposal is something along the lines of the following:

record MyConfig(String uri, Integer port);

var map = Map.of(
                "uri", "localhost",
                "port", "1234");
var fullConfig = ConfigFactory.parseMap(map)
var myConfig = ConfigRecordFactory.create(fullConfig, MyConfig.class);

assertThat(myConfig.uri(), equalTo("localhost"));
assertThat(myConfig.port(), equalTo("1234"));

Thanks for this great library!
