RestBindingMode auto not honored

The usage of rest binding mode is confusing/doesn't work consistently.

If you look at the field definition:

    @XmlAttribute @Metadata(defaultValue = "auto")
    private RestBindingMode bindingMode;

You would expect that the default value is "auto" but in fact there is no default when running.

You need to explicitly set it in configuration, like this:

restConfiguration()
                .component("jetty")
                .port(9097)
                .bindingMode(RestBindingMode.auto)
        ;
