RFR(S) 8160987: JDWP ClassType.InvokeMethod doesn't validate class

Hi Dan,

One could argue that a spec compliant JNI implementation wouldn't need 
this change in the first place...

Regardless, I'm withdrawing this change because I found that it fails a 
com/sun/jdi JTreg test involving static methods in interfaces.

Thanks, Harold
