[rfc][icedtea-web] PolicyEditor/temporary permissions for Thread/ThreadGroup access

[Andrew Azores]

Hi,

This patch just adds two new permissions to PolicyEditorPermissions and 
TemporaryPermissions - RuntimePermission with "modifyThread" and 
"modifyThreadGroup". Hopefully this enables more applets to be properly 
run sandboxed, without users having to resort to manually writing a 
custom policy. These are added to the "reflection" group in both places, 
although I'm not sure this is necessarily the best group. It isn't 
really a reflection permission, but it doesn't fit in better anywhere 
else. Do they warrant their own new group for PolicyEditor? How should 
they be bundled up for temporary permissions?

Thanks,
