[icedtea-web] RFC: fix lookup of about.jnlp

Hi,

The fix to isolate icedtea-web in a non-JDK directory has resulted in 
javaws -about being broken. This is because javaws still looks for 
about.jnlp in the JDK directory. The attached patch fixes it by making 
netx use the about.jnlp that's included in netx.jar.

I am not sure if this is the best fix; IcedTea-Web installs a separate 
about.jnlp in $(datadir)/icedtea-web/ which should be used instead.

Ok to commit?

Cheers,
Omair
