The bridge implementation incorrectly attempts to remove the "javax.servlet.include.path_info" and "javax.servlet.include.servlet_path" request attributes

In BridgePhaseBaseImpl.java the bridge implementation attempts to workaround a request dispatcher implementation detail of Liferay Portal by removing the "javax.servlet.include.path_info" and "javax.servlet.include.servlet_path" request attributes. In addition, RequestScopeMap.java has some Liferay-specific version checks for Liferay Portal related to the "javax.servlet.include.path_info" and "javax.servlet.include.servlet_path" request attributes.

Removing the request attributes is an inappropriate action. Instead, the liferay-faces-bridge-ext.jar module should introduce a custom implementation of ContextMapFactory (see FACES-2583) that handles these Liferay-specific cases.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Deploy the primefaces5-users-portlet to Liferay 7
2. Attempt to view the "PrimeFaces5 Users" portlet in the Control Panel

If the bug is fixed, then the portlet will render a list of users.

Otherwise, if the bug still exists, the following stacktrace will appear in the server log:
