Simplify `ViewConfiguration` API

LayoutFramework MemoryLeak Migration

ViewConfiguration is a factory for a view (a special case of HTMLFragment) within the context of a component. The API design is cumbersome because view creation occurs in two steps: first, create the view; then, retrieve the result of that creation. As a result, implementations inevitably become stateful and cannot be shared across sessions.

Analysis (retrospective)

The refactoring simultaneously fixes a memory leak that allowed an old session to be referenced from the configuration (see MaintenanceViewConfiguration#view).

Improvement

From

#!java
void initView(LayoutComponent aComponent);
View getConfiguredView();

becomes

#!java
HTMLFragment createView(LayoutComponent component);

Code Migration

Adjustments to derived classes in accordance with the above change.
Various APIs in this context have been generalized from `View ` to `HTMLFragment `. If the `isVisible()` status is required, `Fragments.isVisible(HTMLFragment) ` can be used.

Test

No additional testing.
