Context for the process of deserialization a single root-level value.
Used to allow passing in configuration settings and reusable temporary
objects (scrap arrays, containers).
 Instance life-cycle is such that a partially configured "blueprint" object is registered with ObjectMapper (and ObjectReader, and when actual instance is needed for deserialization, a fully configured instance will be created using a method in extended internal API of sub-class (DefaultDeserializationContext.createInstance). Each instance is guaranteed to only be used from single-threaded context; instances may be reused if (and only if) no configuration has changed. 

Defined as abstract class so that implementations must define methods
for reconfiguring blueprints and creating instances.
