Hi,
Please review this change to add checks to the verifier for the following:
 1. Not allow the operand for a NEW or MONITOR* opcode be a value type.
 2. Require that the reference operand for a WITHFIELD or DEFAULTVALUE
    opcode be a value type.
 3. Not allow the field for a PUTFIELD opcode to be in a value type
    unless the current method is named "<init>".
Also, some of the existing test cases in verfierTests.jcod were modified 
to add the ValueTypes attribute.
Webrev:

The fix was tested with JCK Lang and VM tests, Hotspot JTReg tests, and 
with many JDK JTReg tests.
Thanks, Harold
