We punted previously on any serializable super class' descriptor and
simply expected the super class not to be serializable (and consequently,
we expected the respective descriptor to be null). However, for quite
common classes, e.g. OpenJDK's Double class, this is not true.

There are serialized objects out in the wild which make heavy use of
TC_REFERENCE: for example when an object has a reference to itself.
Therefore we need to support that, too.

The specification of the Java deserialization demands that a private
readObject(ObjectOutputStream) method is used -- if it exists. In
that case, ObjectInputStream must not initialize the contents of the
fields (called 'classdata[]' in the documentation) but offer that
functionality via the defaultReadObject() method.

The serialization protocol specifies a quick method to serialize
a String (because that is so common an operation): TC_STRING +
(short)length + bytes. Let's use that, also to make it easier to test
the upcoming changes to TreeMap harmonizing that Avian's serialization
of said class with OpenJDK's.

This is by no means a complete support for the deserialization compliant
to the Java Language Specification, but it is better to add the support
incrementally, for better readability of the commits.

The Java Language Specification documents the serialization protocol
implemented by this change set:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/platform/serialization/spec/protocol.html#10258
This change is intended to make it easier to use Avian VM as a drop-in
replacement for the Oracle JVM when serializing objects.
The previous serialization code is still available as
avian.LegacyObjectInputStream.
This commit only implements the non-object parts of the deserialization
specification.

This implementation is by no means intended to be complete, just enough to
support running http://http://loci.wisc.edu/software/bio-formats's
loci.formats.tools.ImageConverter tool.

So far, we only allowed opening in read-only mode. Now, we also support
read/write mode in addition.

This implements all the methods required by the DataOutput interface; to
run Bio-Formats' bfconvert tool, actually only the write() and writeByte()
methods would be required.

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.
