    draft for a toManyTarget setter

    Sadly I didn't get any feedback this time at [developer mailinglist](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cayenne-dev/201412.mbox/%3C549F3BB6.4050708%40gmail.com%3E). But this shouldn't contain bug anyway.
    
    This pull request serves a setter method for toManyTargets, which is located in the `CayenneDataObject` (thank Davids advice). Others and me desire such a functionality in the out-of-the-box class gernation, look at [user mailinglist](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cayenne-user/201412.mbox/%3C548BDF97.1040104%40gmail.com%3E).
    
    In difference to `addToManyTarget` and `removeFromManyTarget` this method takes a input `Collection<? extends DataObject>` and an optional `boolean` delete parameter (default is false) for deletion
    of DataObjects, which relationships were removed.
    
    The method documentation should be more comprehensible, what the method does and what not.
    
    The `superclass.vm` generates two setter methods per toMany relationship where the relationName is part of the method name. The delete ommited method sets the deletion parameter to false and calls the other method.
    
    I don't know, if it is a the best idea to serve a deletion parameter to prevent for orphaned DataObjects. Maybe there is a better solution.
    I didn't implement yet any test classes. This has still to be done.
    
    It would be happy if you would include my code into your project!
    Thanks Johannes

    Second draft for a toManyTarget setter, which is implemented in
    CayenneDataObject (Davids intention). In difference to addToManyTarget
    or removeFromManyTarget this method takes a input Collection<? extends
    DataObject> and a boolean delete parameter for a additionally deletion
    of DataObject, which relationships were removed.
    
    The method documentation should explain exactly what this method does.
    
    The superclass.vm has 2 new methods for accessing the setToManyTarget
    with the relationName and Collection. The method without deletion flag
    calls setToManyTarget with deletion=false. Second method takes deletion
    flag.
