Description

It should be possible to configure JSPWiki using environment variables.
Currently we support the jspwiki-custom.properties, and the option to override properties with Java System properties (see JSPWIKI-660).

It is more convenient to work with envvars than tweaking the JVM arguments, at least in some enviroments.

I am currently playing around with Docker and want to have a JSPWiki running in it, therefore we need envvars.

The patch is simple , just a few lines of code in TextUtil, I will attach a patch proposal.
