First off, thanks for jsoup - i've used it in multiple settings and it is a pleasure to use.
In this case however, we are not the direct user of jsoup. We use some software, where we do not control the dependency chain and that still depends on jsoup <1.15.x. For security reason we would like to update to the latest version - as is also the recommendation in the security policy[1] . However the recent ABI breaking change renaming the Whitelist class to Safelist prevents us from doing so.
This PR readds a Whitelist class, that uses a Safelist internally. It works for us and it may be useful to others.
Thanks
