add varargs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Java now supports variable numbers of arguments.  BeanShell should too. 
For example:

List list(Object... objs) {
    return new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(objs));
}

In keeping with BeanShell allowing types to be left out, we should also allow:

list(... objs) {
    return new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(objs));
}

I added support for calling vararg java methods, but you still can't declare 
varargs
in beanshell.

Yes I committed but this isn't in the downloads.  You will have to check out 
the source and compile it.

I added a unit test which tests the calling of vararg methods from beanshell:
