Allow Strings and URIs for the @Link annotation when serializing

[andreas-eberle]

With this PR, it becomes possible to use the @Link annotation with Strings and URIs making the library less intrusive and easier to use.

Code Example:

        @Link
        public String stringLink = "http://something.com";

        @Link
        public URI uriLink = new URI("http://something.else.com");

@langecode: Could you have a look at this PR?

Thanks for the contribution and it makes sense to be able to annotate an URI as HALLink. I think there is a semantic problem with the string version, though. The Java URI class does not support template URIs so it obviously must be non-templated. However, the string could both be templated or not templated and it is not possible to distinguish. I guess this could have been solved by adding an attribute to the annotation - however that could cause a conflict with the current us of HALLink which carries this information.

I will give it some thought if there is a good way to handle the annotated strings.

Why add the default constructor?

..and again thanks for the contribution. I had not noticed your PR before the mention, sorry.
