(In [1832]) Refs #214. Refactored out file locating method into a FileLocator?. The ExtensionLoader? uses the FileLocator? to find files ending with .ext.jar

(In [1842]) Refs #214. External actions are now loaded by the ActionFactory?. All jar files named *.ext.jar in WEB-INF/lib will be parsed for classes that extend the ProteiosAction?. If so the ActionFactory? will try to load that action. It's not possible to overload a predefined action as those are loaded first. Now we have to figure out how to let extensions decide in which context they should appear.
