Setting foreign.restricted to permit doesn't work

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

This is as expected. The property was always intended to be an opt-in - 
e.g. a replacement for a command line flag. Because of an issue in the 
implementation, it was possible to bypass the flag and set the property 
in a static initializer. Now the implementation correctly reads the 
value of the property at VM startup.

In short - you need the command line flag.
