>> Please review this small change to fix some verifier error messages.  If a method's descriptor has a void return signature, but contains a bytecode such as 'ireturn' or 'areturn'. then it will get a VerifyError exception with the message "Method descriptor has a void return type".   Conversely, if a method's descriptor has a non-void return signature, but contains a 'return' bytecode then it will get a VerifyError exception with the message "Method descriptor has a non-void return type".
