- SECURE permissions and hardened features become the default (no new, no global side-effects, no pragmas/annotations; lexical on, loops kept for scripts); add JexlBuilder.FULL and setDefaultFeatures to restore pre-3.7 behavior (JEXL-464)
- add JexlConfigLoader to build an engine from YAML (JEXL-465)
- add JexlPermissions.logging() to log allow/deny decisions; add SECURE constant (JEXL-463)

Hi @henrib
I've made a superficial pass and added comments.
- tighten SECURE/RESTRICTED to deny file, env, loader, thread access; - add NONE deny-all base and create() factory; - fix getClass() bypass in Permissions.allow(Class,Method); - add JexlBuilder.setDefaultOptions(); - add security disclaimer in package-info.java and site index; - raise coverage: JexlConfigLoader option flags, LoggingPermissions;
