Transform (Hop Engine 2.3.0 API)

```
@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(TYPE)
public @interface Transform
```
An alternate way of defining transforms. Classes annotated with "Transform" are automatically recognized and registered as a transform.
Important: The XML definitions alienate annotated transforms and the two methods of definition are therefore mutually exclusive.
