Use Java 8 parameter names for constructing object post-query

[reddyalready]

Since JDK8 javac (with -parameters option) adds parameter names to classes during compilation, mybatis should be able to use these for object instantiation rather than relying on finding a constructor with the correct ordering of parameters.

Mybatis already uses these parameters to remove the need for @Param annotations in Mapper files, this was added in #549

Is this something that has been considered?

[reddyalready]

We may need to add a @MybatisCreator annotation or similar for Mybatis to find the correct constructor in the case of multiple constructors (similar to Jackson's parameter names module https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-modules-java8/tree/master/parameter-names)

The same request as #721 , right?

[reddyalready]

Indeed!

If you can give me pointers on where mybatis initialises objects, I should have some time in a couple of weeks to contribute (unless you get to it first, of course)

I just started looking into it.
Let's use #721 for tracking.
