RFR (S): [MVT] Ensure JVMS spec rules for creation and loading of DVT are followed

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Looks very good!

In instanceKlass.hpp am I right that you just reordered the flags so 
that MVT related stuff occurs last? That is, the only change there is 
the added _extra_has_vcc_annotation - everything else is just reshuffling?
