Additional Exception Handling for Restricted Environments

[terryquigleysas]

Describe the bug
We are looking to use password4j in an application that has a strict security policy, meaning that a static initializer will prevent the Password class from loading. We would like to add additional exception handling to allow password4j to be usable in this environment.

To Reproduce
Run password4j with a heavily restricted security policy - e.g. no FilePermissions.

Expected behavior
Password4j should be usable even when no access to psw4j.properties due to a restrictive security policy.

Environment:

• OS: [All]
• JDK [OracleJDK 11 and 17]
• Version [1.7.3, 1.8.1]

Additional context
We have a fix ready. I will supply a PR.

Thank you for your support to the project. I'm going to release 1.8.2 in 1-2 days and this will be part of the package.
