3.2 M3 test pass

Now that jdt-ui gave us the clean-up action to in one sweep remove any unsed
members from a CU (or any java element), it would be very nice if the compiler
would detect the closure of unused members. E.g. a private member would be
flagged as unused if it has no references or only references from other unused
members (including cycles...).

Currently, only members without (read) references are found, and I have to
repeatedly apply the clean up until no more unused members are found.

dup of bug 112561 in a way, but that only mentions cycles, not the closure
problem (which really is only a problem now that you expect everything to be
gone after clean-up has run).

I suggest merging with bug 112561. Closure is what I really had in mind.
