Database configuration: Centralized use of datasources
https://softproject.atlassian.net/browse/X4SERVR-260
X4 now supports the centralized management of database connections via datasources. Administrators can configure database accesses in a uniform manner and use the security features of the Application Server. Direct JDBC connections are still possible in the database configuration files in the X4/configuration directory. Alternatively, references to a datasource can be stored. If both variants are configured, the datasource is preferred.

Scheduler: Asynchronous process starts
https://softproject.atlassian.net/browse/X4SERVR-419
Scheduled processes are now started asynchronously by the scheduler. This will no longer block scheduler threads, even if many processes start at the same time. Processes can still be scheduled as usual, but start decoupled from the scheduler. The central thread pool de.softproject.x4.core.api.worker.workerThreadPool, which has been available since X4 BPMS 7.4.0, is used for implementation.
