See RemedyIT/ridl#108, for all of these we need RIDL extended

[jwillemsen]

RIDL has been extended with all grammar extensions and I have started with the extensions to the IDL to C++11 type support. The IDL to C++11 language mapping for bitset/bitmask is not user friendly, bitset should map to a class and bitmask should be type safe, reported several issues to the OMG.

Besides the type mapping there needs to be some research/prototype relating to the wire protocol for CORBA, Any/TypeCode support, DynamicAny, Interface repository, etc. Extending the type mapping has a lot of effects on the middleware, supporting library, and all related tests.

For AXCIOMA also all available connectors need to be extended and tested. This is something that is again a huge task

Added some basic support for map/bitset/bitmap/(u)int8/struct inheritance
