RFR(L): More migration to the L-world

[Karen Kinnear]

Frederic,

Thank you so much for the changes. Go ahead and push them.

Delighted that with these changes other can make their changes
Mr Simms - arrays
Harold - class file parser
Tobias, Roland - JIT changes

So many thanks for the original push and for this one done so quickly

Couple of minor comments/questions for future:
1. fieldInfo.hpp 
    comments 57-63 - later can you add FLATTENED bit to diagram
    FIELDINFO_FLATTENED_OFFSET
       - could you possibly rename to FIELDINFO_TAG_FLATTENED and define as 4 and use it the
         way TAG types are used today, i.e. |= TAG…
       - or rename it to FIELDINFO_FLATTENED_SHIFT and use it as you do today

2. cpCache.cpp
  line 142: is_flatten -> is_flattened
  and change set_field argument from is_flatten -> is_flattened
  maybe change cpCache.hpp line 230 argument from is_flatten -> is_flattened and change comment also

thanks,
Karen
