get_type from currentThread.getContextClassLoader().loadClass() #169

get_type uses FindClass for finding/loading classes. This will not find however classes loaded by frameworks like spring. Something like below works, but I have to rewrite part of the decoration that is part of jpy I understand: 

  Thread = jpy.get_type("java.lang.Thread")                                            
  current_thread = Thread.currentThread()                                              
  class_loader = current_thread.getContextClassLoader() 
class_loader.loadClass("com.some.spring.class")

Would be interesting to have an argument for get_type that would force get_type to try to load classes from the threads class loader, or simply pass the classloader.

Opinion?
