[cp-patches] [generics] Additions and fixes to java.lang.Class and associated classes.

[Andrew John Hughes]

I'm committing the attached patch which fixes a few things
in the area of java.lang.Class and related classes, and adds
the remaining missing methods (mainly as native stubs for
VM implementation).
