In principle, a class resolver supports both iterating over all classes from that particular source, as well as looking up classes by name. However, the `ClassResolver` for system classes doesn't support iterating, and the lookup functionality for `ClassResolvers` from other sources is never used (only iterating).

Clients that were using this functionality will switch to using the iteration functionality that is available on `ClassFileSource` directly (whose classes were previously being wrapped in a `ClassResolver`). As a result of this latter change, we can now also let `NativeMethodFinder` operate on individual classes. We just iterate over all the class file sources in `JNativeScanTask`, and feed individual class models to `NativeMethodFinder`. I think this is a good conceptual simplification of `NativeMethodFinder`,
