Calling the thread.getId() function through JNI seems to cause JVM
crashes when runtime debugging is enabled, so we avoid it for now.

Added a method to remove ASM specific access flags (not defined in the JVM specification) that caused some tests to fail.

Again, this is to accomodate the "dispatchmp" test on slower
machines (it takes 14-15 seconds on a modern machine).

This may be necessary for the "dispatchmp" test to finish
on slower machines.

The race was in the code displaying the "So far received..." message.
After the check if the counter value modulo 1000000 was zero, the
value actually displayed was queried again, potentially obtaining a
different value (another thread might have incremented the counter).

To force the client to send notifications about garbage collected
objects, the client code forces the GC repeatedly and waits a bit
between the attempts.

Fix try-catch block sorter and bump ASM to 7.2
