* cocos now work independent of completed symboltable * cocos now work as a whitelist for allowed modifiers instead of prohibiting the use of some. This way it supports adding new modifiers and require active modifications if those new modifiers are intended to be used.

What:
This pull request revises all JavaLight CoCos in which the validity of JavaModifiers in constructors and methods is checked. A CoCo for checking the validity of JavaModifiers for methods is also added.
Why:
While Java distinguishes between different types of modifiers (such as: ClassModifier, MethodModifier etc), in JavaLight these are combined as JavaModifiers. For this reason, several things must be taken into account.
Due to this combination, CoCos should be implemented in such a way that they only allow permitted modifiers, while everything else is forbidden. If a modifier is added, this initially has no effect. Only by explicitly adapting CoCos (whitelisting) is its use finally permitted.
