Request for explicit exception types for 'code size' related exceptions

I have added details for this to the asm bug #316319.

Currently the ClassWriter and MethodWriter classes throw runtime exceptions
if the constant pool or code size is too large.
These exceptions are plain RuntimeExceptions with no explicit type.

This is very type unsafe and frankly an ugly way of writing the handlers.

I propose adding explicitly typed Exceptions for both these cases.
The exceptions still subclass RuntimeException so they are not checked
exceptions and don't change existing callers of these methods.

As mentioned before, I have described the exact changes in the asm bug
