Description
The JVMDI function jvmdi_RedefineClasses will return an error value if any of
its argument class definitions is unacceptable to the VM. Reasons for this
correspond 1-1 with reasons for the VM rejecting class definitions passed into
ClassLoader.defineClass(). These include ClassFormatError (resp.
JVMDI_ERROR_INVALID_CLASS_FORMAT) and 
ClassCircularityError (resp. JVMDI_ERROR_CIRCULAR_CLASS_DEFINITION.  
Recently, the JVMS was revised to also throw 
UnsupportedVersionError. Consequently, we need to add
JVMDI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERTSION to reflect this. The change affects the 
documentation of jvmdi_RedefinedClasses and require the error to be defined.
