Native call framework prototype

[John Rose]

Congratulations, Vladimir!

Mark this date...  It's the first native call through a method handle!

Another milestone to make (later) will be to attach BSMs to native methods, so that we can bind those through to MHs w/o JNI wrappers.  Then, as Darth Vader would say, "the circle is complete".
