[icedtea-web] RFC: add support for packEnabled and versionEnabled

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch adds support for packEnabled and versionEnabled 
properties in JNLP files. This allows JNLP applications to use pack200 
compression and versioned jars without requiring special server 
configuration/software. It also fixes bug RH669942.

The patch adds a new class DownloadOptions which specify download 
options for jars (currently just version and pack200 support). Another 
new class ResourceUrlCreator is used to get a list of valid urls for a 
resource. ResourceTracker now uses ResourceUrlCreator to get the list of 
valid urls for downloading a jar and then tries to find the best one. 
initializeResource() and downloadResource() both use this url. 
downloadResource() has been modified to look at the file extension as 
well as the content-encoding when deciding whether a file is compressed 
or not.

The patch is much bigger than I had expected it to be. It also affects 
core functionality - downloading jars. I would appreciate any comments 
and suggestions for improvements.

Thanks,
Omair
