* Method interceptor.

* The listener needs to be register on the instance manager with the
* {@link InstanceManager#register(org.apache.felix.ipojo.parser.MethodMetadata, MethodInterceptor)}
* method.
* Events are sent before the method entry (onEntry), after the method returns (onExit),
* when an error is thrown by the method (onError), and before the after either a returns or an error (onFinally).
*
* Instead of a {@link Method} object, the callbacks received a {@link Member} object which can be either a {@link Method}
* or a {@link Constructor}.
