GROOVY-7646: remove classes via InvokerHelper when closing the GroovyClassLoader or flushing its cache See #325, this ensures that classes are properly cleaned up after when their ClassLoader or its cache are discarded. Together with #444, this should allow classes to be GC'ed as soon as they are not used anymore.
