[lworld] Test cases for value type consistency checks

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi Ioi,

this looks good to me. Just noticed that there is some uncommented code in ValuePoint.java.

To get some more C2 coverage, it would be good to also run the tests with -Xcomp or (even better)
run the ConsistencyTest::test method multiple times to trigger compilation.

Do some of these tests fail? Because there is a "// BUG" comment in ConsistencyTest.java.

Thanks,
Tobias
