>> Before this fix only strict fields were readable in the prologue phase. The proposed fix should allow any instance fields of identity classes to be readable in the prologue phase. This implies changes in flow analysis as before we were only tracking final and strict fields. There is also some "cooperation" needed in the code to detect cases when reading a field is not allowed in the prologue phase. For example some methods in Resolve don't have all the needed information at the moment they are dealing with some ASTs and part of the processing needs to be done in Attr

src/jdk.compiler/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/comp/LocalProxyVarsGen.java line 91:

> 89:     private final UnsetFieldsInfo unsetFieldsInfo;
> 90:     private ClassSymbol currentClass = null;
> 91:     private java.util.List<JCVariableDecl> finalOrStrictInstanceFields;

most changes in this one are due to renaming as now we will be tracking non-strict fields too
