                    In the previous releases, `MethodHandles.Lookup::findStaticVarHandle` eagerly initializes the declaring class of the static field when the `VarHandle` is created.   As specified in the specification,  the declaring class should be initialized when the `VarHandle` is operated on if it has not already been initialized.   This issue is fixed in this release.  The declaring class is no longer eagerly initialized when `MethodHandles.Lookup::findStaticVarHandle` is called.  Existing code that relies on the previous behavior may observe a change of the order of the classes being initialized.
