Summary

Remove 3 methods: ModuleAttributeBuilder.build, CodeRelabeler.relabel, and ConstantPoolBuilder.writeBootstrapMethods from the Class-File API.

Problem

These 3 methods are only meaningful to the implementation, is not used by any client. They can be used by the implementation without exposure in the API. They would be extra implementation burden if we keep them exposed.

Solution

Remove these 3 methods from the public API.
