Add paranoia
Groovy holds on to a classloader, so check it before compilation too.
I have not reviewed yet what Rhino is doing, but just be safe.

Add SpecialPermission to guard exceptions to security policy.
In some cases (e.g. buggy cloud libraries, scripting engines), we must
grant dangerous permissions to contained cases. Those AccessController blocks
are dangerous, since they truncate the stack, and can allow privilege escalation.
This PR adds a simple permission to check before each one, so that unprivileged code
like groovy scripts, can't do anything they shouldn't be allowed to do otherwise.
Now that groovy is factored out, we contain this dangerous stuff there.
TODO: look into those test hacks inspecting class protection domains, maybe we can
clean that one up too.
TODO: generalize the GroovyCodeSourcePermission to something all script engines check,
before entering accesscontrollerblocks. this way e.g. groovy script cannot coerce
python engine into creating something with more privs if it gets ahold of it... we
should probably protect the aws/gce hacks in the same way.
