Allow to recompute average ratings from script service

A new API methods has been added in Ratings script service to allow computing back the average ratings when needed.

The signature of the method is the following:

    /**
     * Recompute the average rating of a reference.
     * Note that this method can be resource consuming if the set of data is large.
     *
     * @param reference the reference for which to recompute the average ratings.
     * @return the average rating in an optional or an empty optional in case of error.
     * @since 13.7RC1

Allow to store Like average xobjects

Like implementation is based on Ratings, and until this version the configuration of Ratings we were using was hardcoded.

We provide in this version 2 new properties that allow to store the average ratings xobjects related to the Like information: those xobjects can notably be used to perform HQL queries with the total number of likes in pages, since this data is stored in them.

The properties are the following:

## Specify if the average rating should be stored or not for likes. Default value is false.
like.averagerating.isStored=true

## Specify where the average ratings should be stored. Default value is xobject. Possible values are currently solr or xobject.
like.averagerating.hint=xobject
