Internally, the VM augments the method tables for abstract classes
with any inherited abstract methods to make code simpler elsewhere,
but that means we can't use that table to construct the result of
Class.getDeclaredMethods since it would include methods not actually
declared in the class. This commit ensures that we preserve and use
the original, un-augmented table for that purpose.
The result of Class.getInterfaces should not include interfaces
declared to be implemented/extended by superclasses/superinterfaces,
only those declared by the class itself. This is important because it
influences how java.io.ObjectStreamClass calculates serial version
IDs.
The main change here is to use a lazily-populated vector to associate
runtime data with classes instead of referencing them directly from
the class which requires updating immutable references in the heap
image. The other changes employ other strategies to avoid trying to
update immutable references.
In order to facilitate making the VM compatible with multiple class
libraries, it's useful to separate the VM-specific representation of
these classes from the library implementations. This commit
introduces VMClass, VMField, and VMMethod for that purpose.
