OFBiz URL Generation

[Adrian Crum-3]

I made some recent commits to fix some problems with OFBiz URL generation:

1. URL generation code was duplicated everywhere, with the result that
URL generation was inconsistent. Some duplicates ignored the settings in
the WebSite entity.

2. It was not possible to generate a URL without a HttpServletRequest
object.

3. The servlet path was hard-coded with "/control" in it - making it
impossible to change the servlet path.

I updated some bits of problem code as an example of how to use the new
approach, but I don't have time to fix the entire project. We will need
to fix the remaining problems as we encounter them.

Thanks for this effort Adrian,

Notably removing the control stuff and allow to use in async services!
