Hello,

I am trying to convert bpmn file with a complex gateway to BpmnModel

In my code I have:

```auto
try {
    XMLInputFactory xif = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
    InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
    XMLStreamReader xtr = xif.createXMLStreamReader(in);
    return new BpmnXMLConverter().convertToBpmnModel(xtr);
}
catch (XMLStreamException | XMLException e) {
    log.error(e.getMessage());
    throw new InvalidXmlException();
}

```

and I found that BpmnXMLConverter uses ComplexGatewayXMLConverter.class which does the following:

Aren’t complex gateways supported by flowable? Because I cannot find them at documentation

It seems that complex gateway is indeed not supported, I will mark this as solution
