[RFC] netx: throw errors when unsigned jnlp applications request permissions

Hi,

The attached patch makes netx throw exceptions if JNLP applications have 
unsigned jars but request permissions. This causes netx fail early and 
loudly rather than assuming sandbox permissions and leading to transient 
failures. This is similar to what Sun/Oracle's Web Start implementation 
does.

Any comments?

Cheers,
Omair
