Call policy.init() once per API request

This patch changes the policy engine behaviour and the API base
controller in order to ensure policy.init is invoked only once
for each API request.
This will avoid issues arising from policy file updates during
API processing and speed up response generation for list operations,
by about 5%.

This patch also removes an obsolete TODO comment.
