        Creates an EntityModel based on the given input.

        The default implementation instantiates the concrete EntityModel based on the assumption that the EntityModel(Object, Iterable) constructor is accessible.

        Parameters:
        type - the type of the instance that should be created. Must be assignable to EntityModel. Is never null.
        links - the links which should be used to instantiate the model. Is never null.
        content - the object which should be used to instantiate the model. Is never null.
        properties - the properties which should be applied on the instantiated model. Can be null.
        Returns:
        the created EntityModel instance.
