I talked about this in JIRA too.

1) Invocation.Builder still needs to set properties whether it
implements Configurable or not

2) ClientBuilder.withConfig(Configuration) still has issues. If
Configuration.getInstances() and getClasses() returns any providers
registered by Features, they you have some potentially weird problems of
a provider being doubly registered.

For example, if you call this in a feature:

configurable.register(MyFilter.class, Priorities.AUTHENTICATION);
