Problems with /xmlquery #190

By default, OpenWayback does not enable the/xmlquery endpoint for search requests. Nor do I think we have the process for enabling it documented anywhere.

The only way I can get this to work is by adding this to the AccessPoint configuration in wayback.xml:

<property name="forceCleanQueries" value="false" />

However, I'm not sure if this is necessarily correct..? Additionally, while this works, it causes a problem in Java 8:

The type java.util.Map$Entry cannot be resolved.

It looks like it relies on a deprecated class in that version of Java.

Finally, it looks like the query is ignoring startdate and enddate parameters; adding:

/xmlquery?type=urlquery&startdate=20140423131055

...returns the following:

<wayback>
  <request>
    <startdate>19910806145620</startdate>
   <numreturned>13</numreturned>
    <type>urlquery</type>
    <enddate>20141126100700</enddate>
...

...which doesn't match the query.
