[9] RFR (S): 8140001: _allocateInstance intrinsic does not throw InstantiationException for abstract classes and interfaces

[Aleksey Shipilev]

Looks okay to me, but I think the property name should reflect Java
terminology, e.g. "can_be_instantiated", "not is_allocatable"?

$ javac AbstractSample.java
[ERROR] AbstractSample.java:[36,9] AbstractSample.M is abstract; cannot
be instantiated

Thanks,
-Aleksey
