Adds a clear() method to ClassWriter to allow the user to
reuse it to write another class without needing to allocate
new buffers for the constant pool, etc.
Furthermore, add a mode that enabled internal reuse of of buffers class writing.
Exposes an overload of toByteArray that does not require
a copy of the internal buffer, but rather returns the ByteVector
directly. ByteVector has been updated to expose its contents
in a read-only manner as a ByteBuffer or a ByteArrayInputStream.
I've made an initial attempt to include this in the benchmark framework.
