Replacing Advice.class references with string construction.
This stops the JVM from loading the Advice classes which are used as templates for byte buddy and doesn't ever need to be run directly.
This eliminates ~130 class loads at start-up -- and saves 0.5MiB in metaspace
Turns out the class level path annotation overrides parent classes, so we only need to find the nearest one.
We also need to look from the instance’s class, not from where the method is defined.
Commented out a test case because we still need to compile against java 7. That case will be added back when we upgrade to java 8.
