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 main changes in this commit ensure that we don't hold the global
class lock when doing class resolution using application-defined
classloaders. Such classloaders may do their own locking (in fact,
it's almost certain), making deadlock likely when mixed with VM-level
locking in various orders.
Other changes include a fix to avoid overflow when waiting for
extremely long intervals and a GC root stack mapping bug.
