JAVA: Fix clone() on arrays

This patch fixes a recent regression with calling clone() on array
instances:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2001-02/msg00262.html
Although clone() is a protected method in object, array classes
implicitly "override" it with a public method that throws no checked
exceptions (10.7). This is actually implemented as a special case by
java compilers and runtimes, as a call to Object.clone() that is not
subject to the ordinary access and exception checks:
public class A2
{
void a()
{
int[] copy = (int[]) new int[1].clone();
}
}
$ jcf-dump A2.class
[...]
Constant pool (count: 20):
#2: Methodref class: 5=java.lang.Object name_and_type: 14=<clone
()java.lang.Object>
[...]
Now we're down to (on branch):
=== libjava Summary ===
# of expected passes 1597
# of unexpected failures 2
# of unexpected successes 17
# of expected failures 108
ok to commit?

* typeck.c (build_java_array_type): Don't try to poke a public `clone'
method into array types.
* parse.y (patch_method_invocation): Bypass access check on clone call
to array instance.
