RFR (M) JDK-6479360 - detailed dumping of class size statistics

Ioi,

Thank you for doing this. I like the way you have the size collection in the file
with the metadata definitions.

1. diagnosticCommand.hpp line 200 - inspeactheap -> inspectheap

2. please update copyrights on all files you changed to 2013

3. I sent an email to the embedded folks to find out if they want this
   under INCLUDE_SERVICES.
   If they do ...

   - did you build with and without INCLUDE_SERVICES?
   What happens when you build with it off and run the jcmd ?
   I am confused that in diagnosticCommand.cpp ClassStatsDcmd is available without
   INCLUDE_SERVICES, but the actual details below the collect_statistics are not?
   Did you talk to the embedded team about whether they want this or not?

   - I would recommend that include files also add the new methods conditional
  on INCLUDE_SERVICES - you did that in some of them, but I think you missed:
  method.hpp, methodData.hpp, constantPool.hpp, constMethod.hpp, annotations.hpp


4. heapInspection.hpp line 56: is InstBytesi supposed to be InstBytes?

5. heapInspection.hpp line 122 - you have some funny "\" - is that intentional?

6. INT64_FORMAT: I think Harold just put back a change for julong handling
that switched to using JULONG_FORMAT- see KlassInfoHisto::print_class_stats - 2 places
(to ensure this also works on Mac OS/X)

thanks,
Karen
