This PR introduces a new Xlint category: `initialization`. When enabled it will indicate if some code in an identity class couldn't be placed in the prologue phase. This applies to field initializers and constructors with no explicit `super` invocation. So for example for code like:


class Test {
    int i = 0;

    Test() {
        this.i = 1;
    }
}


a warning will be issued as if there were a super invocation at the end of the constructor, the compiler would issue an error.

PS. The new lint warning had to be disabled during the build as in other case it wouldn't finish
