Stephane Nicoll 48ce714d15 Provide an API to record various runtime hints
This commit provides an API to record the need for reflection,
resources, serialization, and proxies so that the runtime can be
optimized accordingly.

`RuntimeHints` provides an entry point to register the following:

* Reflection hints: individual elements of a type can be defined, as
well as a predefined categories (identified by the `MemberCategory`
enum). A method or constructor hint can refine whether the executable
should only be introspected or also invoked.
* Resource hints: patterns using includes/excludes identify the
resources to include at runtime. Resource bundles are also supported.
* Java Serialization hints: types that use java serialization can be
registered.
* Proxy hints: both interfaces-based (JDK) proxy and class-based proxy
can be defined.

This commit also introduces a `TypeReference` abstraction that permits
to record hints for types that are not available on the classpath, or
not compiled yet (generated code).
