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).
