Allow use of InputStream for Policy instead of File

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In a web application, you can't necessarily depend on knowing the complete path 
to the policy file.  
I've attached a patch that will allow you to use an InputStream instead of a 
File or String filename.  It 
required modification to the private constructor, but should otherwise be 100% 
compatible.  Any 
IOExceptions are wrapped in a PolicyException.

Example use:
Policy pol = 
Policy.getInstance(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/resources/antisamy.xml");
...

This is definitely a worthy patch, but I am under the gun to get 1.1.1 out the 
door
today before I am unable to work on it for a few weeks. I will integrate this 
patch
in the next version, I promise!

Thanks so much for sending the patch file, it makes things so much easier! I 
just
don't have time to do the proper testing.

Thanks,
Arshan
