feat: default options for controlling proto access

This commmit adds the runtime options

  • allowProtoPropertiesByDefault (boolean, default: false) and
  • allowProtoMethodsByDefault (boolean, default: false)`
    which can be used to allow access to prototype properties and
    functions in general.

Specific properties and methods can still be disabled from access
via allowedProtoProperties and allowedProtoMethods by
setting the corresponding values to false.

The methods constructor, __defineGetter__, __defineSetter__, __lookupGetter__
and the property __proto__ will be disabled, even if the allow...ByDefault-options
are set to true. In order to allow access to those properties and methods, they have
to be explicitly set to true in the 'allowedProto...'-options.

A warning is logged when the a proto-access it attempted and denied
by default (i.e. if no option is set by the user to make the access
decision explicit)

👍 thanks! Looks like this is a good balance between protecting users by default and allowing them the flexibility to continue using prototype methods in projects where that is necessary.

This commmit adds the runtime options
- `allowProtoPropertiesByDefault` (boolean, default: false) and
- `allowProtoMethodsByDefault` (boolean, default: false)`
which can be used to allow access to prototype properties and
functions in general.

Specific properties and methods can still be disabled from access
via `allowedProtoProperties` and `allowedProtoMethods` by
setting the corresponding values to false.

The methods `constructor`, `__defineGetter__`, `__defineSetter__`, `__lookupGetter__`
and the property `__proto__` will be disabled, even if the allow...ByDefault-options
are set to true. In order to allow access to those properties and methods, they have
to be explicitly set to true in the 'allowedProto...'-options.
