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)
* -> also zero-extend them again at the caller side after returning
from such a function

o primitive types are first boxed
o the parameter is passed inside an array of one class instance
o changing the parameter inside the routine (by assigning a value to it
like in Delphi.NET and different from regular Pascal code) will replace
this class instance (again boxing the value if required)
o on return, the class instance is extracted, unboxed if required, and
assigned back to the original location
o formal const parameters are handled without the extra array indirection,
since they cannot be changed
TODO: while writing tjvmcallparanode.handleformalcopyoutpara() I forgot that
calling getcopy on ttemprefnodes whose ttempcreatenode hasn't been copied
yet works fine, so that code is more complex than needed. Still have to
fix.

of functions at the caller side, since these will already be allocated
at the callee side
* added comment to cpupara explaining why we never allocate the function
result on the caller side and then pass it as an invisible parameter,
but instead always let the callee allocate it
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18420 -
o support for copying value parameters at the callee side if they were
passed by reference in hlcg
o JVM g_concatcopy() implementation for arrays
o moved code to get length of an array from njvminl to hlcgcpu so it can
be reused elsewhere as well
o export array copy helpers from system unit for use when assigning one
array to another
o some generic support for types that are normally not implicit pointers,
but which are for the JVM target (such as normal arrays)
* handle assigning nil to a dynamic array by generating a setlength(x,0)
node instead of by hardcoding a call to fpc_dynarray_clear, so
target-specific code can handle it if required
* hook up gethltemp() for JVM ttgjvm so array temps are properly
allocated

on the evaluation stack, while on the callee side they are placed
in local variables 1..n
o the jvm only supports call-by-value. call-by-reference parameters
will have to be emulated at a higher level
o similarly, ret_in_param() always returns false
o all function results are returned on the evaluation stack (both
on the caller and callee side)
