Hi

Please review this spec update and test for getting array classes and
instances of more dimensions than the class file can express or the VM
can handle.

Array.newInstance have a test for arrays of more dimensions than 255,
this patch adds a test for Class.forName as well.

Also the javadoc for Array.newInstance are clarified.
