Johnni Winther b0ecbef3cc Introduce isAbstractlyInstantiated to avoid exact masks of abstract classes.
Classes can be instantiated directly, abstractly or indirectly:

When [cls] is directly instantiated: This means that at runtime instances of exactly [cls] are assumed to exist.

When [cls] is abstractly instantiated: This means that at runtime instances of [cls] or unknown subclasses of [cls] are assumed to exist.

This is used to mark native and/or reflectable classes as instantiated. For native classes we do not know the exact class that instantiates [cls] so [cls] here represents the root of the subclasses. For reflectable classes we need event abstract classes to be 'live' even though they cannot themselves be instantiated.

When [cls] is indirectly instantiated: This means that a subclass of [cls] is directly or abstractly instantiated.
