SOLR-13993: sandbox velocity template render (if security manager is enabled)
The solr permissions are weak sauce due to the huge number of features,
third-party dependencies, etc.
Hence they have access to do many things. For "scripting" such as velocity we
have to look at a more aggressive stance:
Step 1: Can we wrap a sandbox around the whole goddamn thing and call it a day?
Step 2: Let's separate the "engine" from "untrusted code" and only be an
asshole to the latter.
Step 3: Java's security is shit, Lets contain that classloader and whitelist
access.

> This thing seems dangerous :)
> Making the whole solr secure is a whole nother thing: (see e.g. SOLR-13991
> and we haven't even gotten started). Its pretty difficult to convert whole
> large app to work securely. It is going to take time.
> In the meantime, if we have things that might do something dangerous, and
> security manager is enabled, we can put them into a special little sandbox
> and throw away the key: for example we can intentionally discard permissions
> we don't need so they can't launch stuff, if we really don't trust them, we
> can start filtering what classes classloader will load.
> This isn't that crazy at all to do, e.g. your web browser does similar tricks
> to try to sandbox specific parts that might do something unexpected and cause
> security issue.
