Patch derby-6619 which prints warnings on derby.log if permissions are missing 
to get and set the context class loader in SingletonTimerFactory (which can 
lead to classloader leak). Also adds a test of this by checking derby.log in 
SecureServerTest.

> As part of the fix for DERBY-3745, Derby silently swallows security 
> exceptions and leaks class loaders. This can give rise to denial-of-service 
> attacks. At a minimum, Derby should report the swallowed exceptions so that 
> the security policy can be corrected and the application can be hardened 
> against this attack. The swallowing occurs at these locations:
> {noformat}
> org.apache.derby.impl.services.timer.SingletonTimerFactory run Catch 
> java.lang.SecurityException 0 line 175
> org.apache.derby.impl.services.timer.SingletonTimerFactory run Catch 
> java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 158
> {noformat}
