[gen] Created param config.groupsForGlobalRoles that disabled by default creation of a group for every global role. On a appy class it is now possible to define a static method 'generateUid' that generates a UID for every instance of this class, instead of using the standard Appy way to produce such UIDs. [shared] dav.Resource: allow to retrieve the result encoded or not in utf8.
