javap and requires public

[forax at univ-mlv.fr]

It's the least disruptive change but given that i also want to change the value of ACC_MODULE, because 0x8000 the last value which is free for class/method/field so using it just as a class marker seems a waste.
I know that it will be painful to change that value (we will have to recompile everything) but valhalla will likely to need a flag that you can used on class/method/field.

cheers,
Rémi
