classes, interfaces, dynamic arrays, ...) as "array of JLObject",
but instead as an array of the actual pointed-to type. The reason
for the previous behaviour was mainly that the JVM threadvar
implementation internally stores all threadvars that are
such double pointer types into an "array of JLObject". Type casting
this array to e.g. an "array of array of byte" causes an exception
even if it only contains "array of byte" instances (since the outer
array type is different). This is now solved by first taking the
element of the array and then typecasting it to the destination
type (so dynarrbyte(arr[0]) instead of pdynarrbyte(arr)^[0]).
The reason for the new (more accurate) behaviour is because the
old one caused type errors in case a double pointer field was
internally created for the nestedfpstruct support (see added
test)

verifier when -Cpjvmdalvik is used (including debug information). Using
-Cpjvmdalvik changes the semantics at the language-level in one case:
boolean(bytevar) will no longer return a boolean that contains the same
value as bytevar did, but will map the value to 0/1 (that also means that
such expressions cannot be passed to var-parameters in case of
-Cpjvmdalvik). Code compiled with -Cpjvmdalvik will also work fine on
the regular JVM, but it may be somewhat slower (it won't necessarily
be slower on Dalvik, because the .class -> .dex transformation
applies many optimizations itself)

to and returning them from sub routines, in order to follow the JVM
specs to the letter (not checked by the JVM bytecode verifiers, but
checked by the Android DEX verifier)

as far as Java is concerned, they're now all arrays of JLObject.
When loading a value from them, we typecast the loaded value
to the appropriate type. This allows typecasting one pointer
type to another without getting verification errors (since an
"array of JLObject" is not compatible with "array of JLString")
- no longer allow dereferencing untyped pointers on the JVM
target, since that always results in invalid bytecode
