[midPoint] Purpose and configuration of auxiliary archetypes

[Yakov Revyakin]

Any ideas, suggestions? We know that there is an auxiliary archetype, we
know that it complements structural one. But how to use it to provide
appropriate specific for example for Employee and Contractor? For example
how to provide different algorithms for iterators referring to
"iterationSpecification". "iterationSpecification" is a part of object
templates but I can see that Midpoint skips auxiliary object templates.
