This commit ensures compliance with JVM spec regarding the handling of putstatic/putfield/withfield opcodes. This involves correctly narrowing integer values when storing them into fields of smaller types such as bool, byte, char, and short. For byte and short fields, narrowing involves conversion from integer to byte/short, then back to integer. For bool and char types, which are unsigned, narrowing entails ANDing the value with a mask matching the type width.
