Support for new signature - JAR file inspection

The JAR file inspection allows you to perform the following:

Check if a product is installed by looking for the JAR archive and a specific class within it.
Skip the scan if it is NOT present (installed).
If present, look for the version, in MANIFEST.MF file included in JAR archive

Two new operators are introduced for the inspection: FileExistsArchive and ReadFileExArchive. ReadFileExArchive is allowed to process archives with an upper size limit of 1 MB.
