RFR JDK-8193325: StackFrameInfo::getByteCodeIndex returns wrong value if bci > 32767

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi Mandy,

I thought the contract for @Stable was that the value would
not change after it's been assigned a non default value.
And the default for int is '0', not '-1'.
In view of that - isn't using 'final' a better alternative,
even though it's also lying?

best regards,
