Most of these regressions were simply due to testing a lot more stuff,
esp. annotations and reflection, revealing holes in the Android
compatibility code. There are still some holes, but at least the
suite is passing (except for a fragile test in Serialize.java which I
will open an issue for).
Sorry this is such a big commit; there was more to address than I
initially expected.
Method.invoke should initialize its class before invoking the method,
throwing an ExceptionInInitializerError if it fails, without wrapping
said error in an InvocationTargetException.
Also, we must initialize ExceptionInInitializerError.exception when
throwing instances from the VM, since OpenJDK's
ExceptionInInitializerError.getCause uses the exception field, not the
cause field.
When the class whose field is to be inspected has no annotations at all,
at least my javac here (1.6.0_51 on MacOSX) does not produce any class
addendum.
Therefore, let's verify that the addendum is not null before proceeding.

Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
Rather than try to support mixing Avian's core classes with those of
an external class library -- which necessitates adding a lot of stub
methods which throw UnsupportedOperationExceptions, among other
comprimises -- we're looking to support such external class libraries
in their unmodified forms. The latter strategy has already proven
successful with OpenJDK's class library. Thus, this commit removes
the stub methods, etc., which not only cleans up the code but avoids
misleading application developers as to what classes and methods
Avian's built-in class library supports.
The biggest change in this commit is to split the system classloader
into two: one for boot classes (e.g. java.lang.*) and another for
application classes. This is necessary to make OpenJDK's security
checks happy.
The rest of the changes include bugfixes and additional JVM method
implementations in classpath-openjdk.cpp.
Whereas the GNU Classpath port used the strategy of patching Classpath
with core classes from Avian so as to minimize changes to the VM, this
port uses the opposite strategy: abstract and isolate
classpath-specific features in the VM similar to how we abstract away
platform-specific features in system.h. This allows us to use an
unmodified copy of OpenJDK's class library, including its core classes
and augmented by a few VM-specific classes in the "avian" package.
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.
