For CPStringBuilder to be able to construct a String without
copying its character buffer, it must invoke a package-private
String constructor.  Currently it achieves this via reflection.

This patch separates out the reflection calls so that VMs may
provide a more efficient way of handling this.

ChangeLog:

2008-03-17  Andrew John Hughes  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * gnu/java/lang/CPStringBuilder.java:
        Replace reflection code with calls to
        VMCPStringBuilder.
        * vm/reference/gnu/java/lang/VMCPStringBuilder.java:
        Default implementation of constructor call
        using reflection.
