Summary: Non-intuitive Interactions classpath

Initial Comment:
The interactions classpath always includes DrJava's own
classpath before any directories which have been
specified on "extra.classpath" or the source roots of
the currently open documents.  This can be confusing to
new users if DrJava is started from the desktop, and if
old versions of class files are left on the desktop. 
Instead, the interactions classpath should first
include any source root directories, then
extra.classpath, and then DrJava's own classpath.  

(The only problem with this is the possibility of
defining a separate
edu.rice.cs.drjava.model.repl.newjvm.InteractionsJVM
class, which would then cause DrJava to crash when
resetting the interactions pane.  To fix this, we
should really modify how DynamicJava loads classes so
that it does not look on the system classpath.)
