RTTI improvements for Java backend. io.write/3 works for some simple types
(builtin types and non-existential d.u. types).
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
Fix problem with cyclic RTTI definitions. Initialisers could refer to
other RTTI structures which weren't yet allocated, leading to fields
being null. The fix is to allocate all top-level RTTI objects first
and initialise in a second phase.

java/runtime/TypeInfo_Struct.java:
Separate constructors into constructors for the initial allocation,
and an `init' method to fill in the fields.
java/runtime/MethodPtr.java:
Use variadic method support to simplify semidet_call_* and
result_call_* in rtti_implementation.m.
library/builtin.m:
Make Java definitions of builtin.unify/2 and builtin.compare/3 call
rtti_implementation.generic_unify and generic_compare.
library/private_builtin.m:
Add missing MR_TYPECTOR_REP_FOREIGN_ENUM{,_USEREQ} constants
for C# and Java.
library/rtti_implementation.m:
Fix and add missing Java versions of many foreign_procs.
Add more attributes to foreign_procs.
Clean up the code a bit (fewer casts and ^ field access functions).
README.Java:
Bump Java version requirement to J2SE 1.5 or higher.

Clean up the handling of the `--java' and `--gc' compilation options.
README.Java:
Document the `--java' and `--target java' options,
and use `--java' rather than `--grade java' in the examples.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Fix a bug where `mmc --java --output-grade-string'
was printing "java.gc" instead of "java". It was calling
set_gc_method to set the gc_method field in the globals structure,
but it was not setting the corresponding string option in the
options table, and compute_grade was looking at the string option.
The fix was to also set the string option.
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
Handle the `--java' and `--java-only' options.
scripts/final_grade_options.sh-subr:
For the IL and Java back-ends, set the gc_method to automatic.
For the Java back-end, set highlevel_data to true.
compiler/globals.m:
Fix an XXX: add a new alternative to the gc_method type,
"automatic", to distinguish lack of GC ("none") from the
automatic GC done by Java or the .NET CLR.
compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document the new `--gc automatic' alternative for the `--gc' option.
Delete the documentation of the deprecated `--gc conservative'
option (which has been replaced with `--gc boehm').
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:

README.Java:
A few minor wording changes. Suggest using `--target-debug'
rather than `--java-flags "-g"' to enable Java-level debugging.
