Description
Some parts of Dependencies should be made accessible from external packages. This can be done by widening the access (from package private to public) and by adding some accessor methods.

For the CompletionNode to be more useful to clients, the ClassSymbol should be stored in the node.

Also, the functionality of Dependencies should be independent of whether an output file is provided or not.

(Addressing these points paves the way for upcoming sjavac work.)
