NEW ISSUE: Intent annotations for C

[Bryan Aupperle <aupperle@us.ibm.com>]

Title: Annotations are needed to specify
intents 

Target: C Client and Implementation Model/C Annotations

Description:  The policy framework defines a way for intents to be
attached to various SCA constructs including interfaces and operations.
 These intents can be attached in the SCDL using a requires attribute.
 There is no way for a C developer to define required intents without
authoring SCDL directly. 

Proposal:  Add an @Requires annotation that can be used with interfaces
and methods.  This annotation would include a list of intents to be
applied.  We may also want some additional specific annotations like
@Conversational.
