Summary: Make generate_class_cast_message able to deal with NULL klass 
from the constant pool.

Also moved the function to get the class loader/module name to Klass 
where it belongs and removed an unused function in the constant pool 
that looks like the one I ended up using.

Tested with tier1 and which includes the test added for the original 
change and compiler test that has null klass in the constant pool entry: 
compiler/escapeAnalysis/cr6716441/Tester.java
