Server configuration for reproducing the bug

Low priority - I only stumbled on this because I'd been studying the source code and noticed the hardcoded filename.
From the end user's perspective, they just get a different error where they should be getting a 404 error.

----

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the attached XML to launch a lightweight Jetty instance, for example java -jar start.jar --ini reproduce.xml
(edit the port and resourceBase if needed)

2. Make sure there's no jetty-stylesheet.css file in the resourceBase folder.

2. Go to http://localhost:30303/jetty-stylesheet.css

The server console shows:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ResourceHandler.handle(ResourceHandler.java:356)
        at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:110)

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Code snippet from ResourceHandler:

...
Resource resource = getResource(request);
if (resource==null || !resource.exists())
{
    if (target.endsWith("/jetty-stylesheet.css"))
    {	
        response.setContentType("text/css");
        resource = getStylesheet();
    }
    else 
        return;
}
    
if (!_aliases && resource.getAlias()!=null)
...

The exception occurs on the last line. Looks like getStylesheet() returns null.

I also found two comment inaccuracies in the same source file and creating separate bug reports for these might be a bit of an overkill:

1. The class javadoc says "Requests that cannot be handled are let pass (Eg no 404's)", but this example does produce 404 errors with other non-existent filenames.

2. The javadoc for the handle() method refers to org.eclipse.jetty.server.server.Handler, which contains an extra ".server" - should be org.eclipse.jetty.server.Handler
