Please, review a fix for the sub-task:
  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8241214

This fix has already been reviewed internally (in Vlahalla project) by Mandy, Chris and Alex.
This RFR is to collect more comments (if there are any) before push.

Summary:
  We want to be able to debug hidden classes with the debuggers.
  One way to test the JDI/JDWP is by using the JDB,
  so we want the JDB to support hidden classes.
  The PatternReferenceTypeSpec::checkClassName is used to check
  if the class is valid when a event requests is set in jdb.
  Good example is to set a breakpoint which can be deferred.
  The fix is to accept hidden class names as valid to be able
  to debug hidden classes with the JDB.
  New test is to provide basic coverage for JDB (amd JDI as well).
  It verifies that the following JDB commands handle hidden classes correctly:
   - class, classes
   - fields and methods
   - stop in, watch, unwatch
   - where, up and down
   - eval, print and dump for fields (both positive and negative checks)

Testing:
 Mach5 test run of the vmTestbase_nsk_jdb is in progress.


Thanks,
Serguei
