Improved: Prevent FreeMarker Template Injection (SSTI)

(OFBIZ-11709)

Some people may want to use another TemplateClassResolver than SAFER_RESOLVER
This creates a new templateClassResolver security property and uses it in
FreeMarkerWorker::makeConfiguration by default

> This issue was initially reported to the security team by Alvaro Munoz <[hidden email]> from the GitHub Security Lab team <[hidden email]>. It was also reported 15 days later by Kai Zhao <[hidden email]>.
> It's a well known *post-auth* vulnerability[1][2][3] so *no CVE* was created. It relies on Freemarker freemarker.template.utility.Execute class and new() built-in.
> Since Freemarker 2.3.17 a known solution to these issues is to register a TemplateClassResolver in Freemarker configuration in order to limit which TemplateModels can be instantiated in the templates. The predefined resolver SAFER_RESOLVER doesn't allow to instantiate the Execute class[4]. So the solution is to add the line
> {code:java}
> newConfig.setNewBuiltinClassResolver(TemplateClassResolver.SAFER_RESOLVER);
> {code}
> in FreeMarkerWorker.java
> In [1] a concern about the Freemarker api buit-in is mentioned. Actually this is not a concern by default in Freemarker[5] and OFBiz
> bq. The api_builtin_enabled configuration setting must be set to true. Its default is false (at least as of 2.3.22) for not lowering the security of existing applications.
