Please review the fix for [1] at [2]. This is a small follow up after 
[3] which introduced a new internal constant pool API in javac. We 
realized that it was not possible to generate with the new API method 
handles with reference kinds:

  * REF_getField
  * REF_putField
  * REF_getStatic
  * REF_putStatic

This patch adds that feature,

Thanks,
Vicente
