Implement public getter methods for LocalSessionFactoryBean
Motivation: we have extended LSFB in order to perform additional actions to compute the annotatedClasses.
In general, it would be advisable that a class extending the LSFB can read the properties other than setting them.
For example, if you want to add an annotated class using your own logic, you can invoke both getAnnotatedClasses, edit the array, and then setAnnotatedClasses with the new array.
In this scenario, it could also have been possible to add a protected addAnnotatedClasses or protected addXXX method

As a practical example, we currently (due to poor old design choices) choose the annotated classes that compose the SessionFactory by using both the inclusion filters (e.g. @Entity, @MappedSuperclass, @Embeddable) and a pluggable exclusion filter.
So in our application we do not currently rely on setPackagesToScan out of the box.

Thanks for the PR but this hasn't get a lot of traction and I am not keen to open up the API more as it limits our ability to refactor it if we want to.
