RFR (XS): 8037043: put Method flag bits in predictable positions

[Coleen Phillimore]

No wonder you don't like C++ with code like that.  Can you put () around 
the ?: expressions so I don't have to dig out my C++ manual to figure 
out order of operations in the getting and setting functions.

Thanks,
Coleen

For this reason other flag bits in HotSpot are implemented with enum shift values so the exact bit position can be easily identified.
