Add String constants INIT_NAME, CLASS_INIT_NAME, MTD_void for the names and method type of instance and class initializers; add String constant MAIN_NAME and MTD_void_StringArray for the name and method type of main method.

Update occurrences of <init> and <clinit> in core libraries API specification to refer to these constants. The occurrences in code elsewhere will be converted separately for there are too many.
