More work on the Java back-end.  The standard library now compiles
in grade `java', and hello world (the version using io__write_string,
and linked against the standard library in library/*.m, not the
hand-coded one in java/library/*.java) now works!

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Ignore `pragma type_spec' declarations for the Java back-end.
	This works around a problem where javac was failing to compile
	some of our generated code due to it overflowing limits on
	file name length for the names of the .class files for some
	nested classes.

compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
	Add some comments.  Add myself to the "main authors" list.

library/string.m:
	Provide Java definitions of string__first_char and
	string__unsafe_index.  (These are needed for string.append,
	which is used by private_builtin.sorry.)

library/io.m:
	Provide Java definitions of io__write_{string,int,char,float}/3.

java/runtime/TypeCtorInfo_Struct.java:
	Fix a cut-and-paste error.

java/runtime/TypeInfo_Struct.java:
	Improve the implementation of the TypeInfo_Struct(Object)
	constructor so that it doesn't throw exceptions during
	the initialization of the standard library.

java/runtime/FA_TypeInfo_Struct1.java:
	Make this type inherit from TypeInfo_Struct.
