[Bug java/22377] BC compilation fails to detect abstract instantiation

There might be a way to implement this without additional _Jv_AllocObject cost
and without adding new ABI tables. 

If abstract classes and interfaces were given a zero or negative value in their
size field, I think the GC will call GC_oom_fn if an attempt were made to
allocate them. We could then throw InstantiationException instead of
OutOfMemoryError in this case.
