Checking constraints

The incompatible changes in this category are handled by maintaining constraints either explicitly or implicitly, and checking them against the loaded classes during class loading. When any of the constraints are violated, exceptions are raised (VerifyError, ClassCircularityError, InstantiationError, etc).
