Tomcat 6 should not implement the TearDown spec

Bug Description

Binary package hint: tomcat6

Tomcat 6 currently implements the TearDown spec [1] which provides faster shutdown by avoiding the init script to be called at system shutdown or reboot, and instead rely on the processes being correctly terminated and killed by the sendsigs script.

However, one might implement LifecycleListener callbacks in webapps that result in specific code being executed when Contexts are destroyed, and TearDown would bypass that feature. Therefore it would be preferable not to implement TearDown for Tomcat 6.

  * policy/04webapps.policy: add rules to allow usage of java.io.tmpdir
  * tomcat6.init, rules: Do not use TearDown, as this results in

  * patches/disable-apr-loading.patch: Disable APR library loading until we
    properly provide it.
  * patches/disable-ajp-connector: Do not load AJP13 connector by default
