[RFA] Record types of method arguments when debugging

Hi,

This patch add a change to the DEBUG interpreter to record the types of 
the method arguments so their slots appear valid when accessing local 
variables.  Since method arguments occupy slots from the beginning of a 
method call and are rarely written to, it is necessary to set their type 
flags at method invocation.  This fixes a problem when accessing local 
variables from JVMTI where slots occupied by method arguments would 
appear invalid.

Questions/Comments?
