Class.newInstance always locates default constructor

[Alexandre Oliva]

Given the attached code snippet, Kaffe will fail to throw a
NoSuchMethodException because execute_java_constructor calls
lookupClassMethod, that calls findMethod, that ends up finding the
constructor <init>()V in superclasses, for example, in
java.lang.Object.

I can see two ways to fix this:

1) modify findMethod so that it strcmp()s name with
makeUtf8Const(constructor_name->data,-1), and behaves differently for
constructors

2) create lookupConstructor and findConstructor, and modify
execute_java_constructor_v to use lookupConstructor instead of
lookupClassMethod.

I seem to prefer the second alternative.  What do others think?
