* Add ability for plugins to declare additional permissions with a custom plugin-security.policy file and corresponding AccessController logic. See the plugin author's guide for more information.
* Add warning messages to users for extra plugin permissions in bin/plugin.
* When bin/plugin is run interactively (stdin is a controlling terminal and -b/--batch not supplied), require user confirmation.
* Improve unit test and IDE support for plugins with additional permissions by exposing plugin's metadata as a maven test resource.

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.
