Description Stephan Herrmann

In bug 527743 I was a bit rushed when completely abandoning the concept of _OT$InitFields methods (for initializating role fields with initializers).

This came up when looking at currently broken samples (bug 566463) where adding the required tsuper() call causes a runtime exception.

To reduce the problem, I'm bringing _OT$InitFields back, but now only for non-final fields. For final fields the current restriction (see bug 528057) will remain in place for now.
