RFR: : vdefault / vwithfield

[Karen Kinnear]

Frederic,

Code looks good. Thank you for the tests. Go ahead and push.

We should clarify that, like all the other “v” byte codes, these are temporary for
experimental purposes, with no assumptions as the byte codes that will ultimately
be used for value types.

Still works with -Xint, -Xverify:none, linux-x64 only.
Initial prototype, no performance work yet.

thanks,
Karen
