[midPoint] Options / Dropdown for New User Properties

[pdbogen at cernu.us]

Thanks!

This was extremely helpful. I do have a few comments, though:

1) I think this would have been easier to find if there was a link to it from 
the 'see also' section of 
https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Resource+Schema

2) The syntax for the table itself as described on 
https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Lookup+Tables seems to have two 
errors:

  1. The closing tag for the second entry in the table is missing the `/`; and 
  2. The tags for each entry in the table should be 'row' rather than 'table'.

These two changes allowed me to create and import a table properly; I was not 
able to do so when each entry was in `<table></table>`.

3) The rendering of a field that is restricted in this way is not perfect- it 
still behaves a bit like a text field in that I can type arbitrary values into 
it. It does indeed prohibit disallowed values, but I think that the user 
experience would be a little nicer if it were rendered as a drop-down. This is 
a very minor issue, thuogh.

4) No error is indicated when I _do_ try to provide a prohibited value. Since 
the field is a text field, it seems to allow me to type an arbitrary value in 
and submit it.

Thanks again!
