VMMaker 4.7.6

Prune unreferenced methods in plugins. Previously this was done only for interpreter classes. Useful when MemoryAccess is used in code generation, in which case unused memory access functions in plugin modules should not be generated.

Warning: Plugins that do not declare externally referenced methods (listed in #requiredMethodNames, declared as exported, or equivalent) will have those methods removed by #pruneUnreachableMethods. Externally maintained plugins may encounter this issue. If the plugin cannot be updated, then its module name should be added to InterpreterPlugin class>>doNotPruneClasses, which will disable method pruning for that class.

Currently RomePlugin is listed in #doNotPruneClasses. OSProcessPlugin and AioPlugin must be updated to their latest versions from SqueakSource (use 'VMMaker updateFromServer' or equivalent) in order to prevent required methods from being pruned.
