Java Hints Test API

Added HintTest.options method

Assertion for missing fixes

A method assertFixesNotPresent was added to easily detect that fix is gone if e.g. some precondition is not met.

Allowed to check a single hint

Apr 3 '13; API spec. version: 1.9; affected top-level classes: HintTest; made by: sdedic; issues: #227962
New method run(Class, String) was added so that hint with a specific ID can be run, if the class contains multiple hint implementations.

Added assertFixes method to HintWarning

Mar 22 '13; API spec. version: 1.8; affected top-level classes: HintTest; made by: jlahoda; issues: #227271

Added assertFixes method to HintWarning
