Benchmarker should support custom reading and writing of solutions (it should not enforce 1 specific xstream configuration)

    Description

      Title was: Benchmark doesn't allow for de-serializing XMLs with references

      I have a solution configuration serialized via XStream [1]. When I'm attempting to benchmark [2] my solver with that solution, I get the following error:

      [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2:java (default-cli) on project tournaments: An exception occured while executing the Java class. null: InvocationTargetException: Problem reading unsolvedSolutionFile: src/main/resources/input-tiny.xml: Invalid reference
      [ERROR] ---- Debugging information ----
      [ERROR] reference : ../../group
      [ERROR] class : org.drools.planner.examples.tournaments.model.Team

      [ERROR] class[1] : org.drools.planner.examples.tournaments.TournamentsSolution
      [ERROR] version : null
      [ERROR] -------------------------------

      I can see two solutions:
      a) Make it so that Planner benchmark does understand XStream's XML.
      b) Provide a method inside Planner to serialize Solutions in a way that benchmark will understand them later.
