Add support for binding reference syntax, and use for class names in Packages #1092

This is an interim step in adding namespaces. Much of that work is done, but will be applied incrementally so the master branch is going to be in state of flux for a while. Use the release/7.1 branch for the latest stable state.

This changes the package file format in a way that is not forward compatible, although backwards compatibility is maintained. In practice this means that 7.2 packages cannot be loaded directly into 7.1 images, but the reverse is supported.

The VM solution does not build in debug configuration at present.
