createEntity(EntitySpec)
 and also used during rebind.
  
 If EntitySpec.id(String) was set then uses that to override the entity's id, 
 but that behaviour is deprecated.
 
 The new-style no-arg constructor is preferred, and   
 configuration from the EntitySpec is not normally applied,
 although for old-style entities flags from the spec are passed to the constructor.
public <T extends Entity> T constructEntity(java.lang.Class<T> clazz, java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Class<?>> interfaces, java.lang.String entityId)
 As constructEntity(Class, EntitySpec) but when no spec is used.
