Library methods such as 'listOf' are resolved
to have the package fragments as their parents,
but JVM expects their containing file classes as parents.
This fix generates those file classes and
uses them as parent replacements for such library methods.
Previous version of the boxing/unboxing analysis treated merging boxed and non-boxed values as a hazard.
If such merged values are not used (e.g., early return + local variables reused in inlined calls),
corresponding boxing/unboxing operations still can be optimized out.
All information related to boxed value usage by instructions is moved to 'BoxedValueDescriptor'.
Introduce "tainted" (and "clean") boxed values, with the following rules:
merge(B, B) = B, if unboxed types are compatible,
T, otherwise
merge(B, X) = T
merge(T, X) = T
where
X is a non-boxed value,
B is a "clean" boxed value,
T is a "tainted" boxed value.
Postpone decision about value merge hazards until a "tainted" value is used.
