Distinguish new process instance from executions going from other executions from start node

Description (Required on creation; please attach any relevant screenshots, stacktraces, log files, etc. to the ticket)

Whet someone wants to implement it's own DefaultAuthorizationProvider.newProcessInstance() when new process instance is created, this method is called multiple times. Once for the process instance itself, but also for all executions (links) from the start event element defined in the process definition.

Steps to reproduce (Required on creation)

Observed Behavior (Required on creation)

Expected behavior (Required on creation)

Root Cause (Required on prioritization)

Reason is that when execution is being created (process instance is also an execution) it is first sent to be stored into the storage and only later process instance specific fields are being assigned to the java object. One of the reason is that ID of the execution is generating during the storing of the execution.
