This change removes the unused resolved_constructor field, which HotSpot 
injects into java.lang.Class. This saves one word per java.lang.Class 
instance.

This field was used by the old reflection code, which was removed as a 
part of this bug:

Testing: vm.quick.testlist and footprint_real3-jetty.

thanks,
