Three modes:
- 'disable' (default): normalize constructor calls in coroutines only
(required because uninitialized objects can't be stored in fields),
don't insert additional code for forced class initialization;
- 'enable': normalize constructor calls,
don't insert additional code for forced class initialization;
- 'preserve-class-initialization': normalize constructor calls,
insert additional code for forced class initialization.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-19251https://github.com/puniverse/quasar/issues/280https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8046233
Inline function calls (as well as try/catch expressions) in constructor
arguments produce bytecode that spills stack, and stores uninitialized
objects (created by 'NEW C', but not initialized by 'C.<init>') to
local variables. Such bytecode is valid according to the JVM spec, but
confuses Quasar (and other bytecode postprocessing tools),
and fails to verify under some (buggy) versions of JDK 8.
In order to avoid that, we apply 'processUnitializedStores' already
implemented for coroutines. It moves 'NEW' instructions after the
constructor arguments evaluation, producing code like
<initialize class C using Class.forName>
<evaluate constructor arguments>
<store constructor arguments to variables>
NEW C
DUP
<load constructor arguments from variables>
INVOKESPECIAL C.<init>(...)
NB some other expressions, such as break/continue in the constructor
arguments, also can produce "weird" bytecode: object is created by a
'NEW C' instruction, but later (conditionally) POPped from stack and
left uninitialized. This, as we know, also can screw bytecode
postprocessing. However, it looks like we can get away with it ATM.
Otherwise it looks like we'd have to analyze constructor arguments, see
if the evaluation can "jump out", and perform argument linearization in
codegen.
