Sandboxed Prolog code

Prolog is a full-featured Turing complete programming language in which it is easy to write programs that can harm your computer. On the other hand, Prolog is a logic based query language which can be exploited to query data interactively from, e.g., the web. This library provides safe_goal/1, which determines whether it is safe to call its argument.

To be done
- Handling of ^ and // meta predicates
- Complete set of whitelisted predicates
   79:- meta_predicate
   80    safe_goal(:),
   81    safe_call(0).
 safe_call(:Goal)
Call Goal if it complies with the sandboxing rules. Before calling Goal, it performs expand_goal/2, followed by safe_goal/1. Expanding is done explicitly because situations in which safe_call/1 typically concern goals that are not known at compile time.

 safe_goal(:Goal) is det
True if calling Goal provides no security risc. This implies that:
Errors
- instantiation_error if the analysis encounters a term in a callable position that is insufficiently instantiated to determine the predicate called.
- permission_error(call, sandboxed, Goal) if Goal is in the call-tree and not white-listed.

 safe_primitive(?Goal) is nondet
True if Goal is safe to call (i.e., cannot access dangerous system-resources and cannot upset other parts of the Prolog process). There are two types of facts. ISO built-ins are declared without a module prefix. This is safe because it is not allowed to (re-)define these primitives (i.e., give them an unsafe implementation) and the way around (redefine_system_predicate/1) is unsafe. The other group are module-qualified and only match if the system infers that the predicate is imported from the given module.
  509% First, all ISO system predicates that are considered safe

 attr_hook_predicates(+Hooks0, +Module, -Hooks) is det
Filter the defined hook implementations.
