[drlvm]fix comments in vmcore external interface headers

Trying to improve scarce comments in VM Core external interface headers,
I've opened the following JIRAs with improvement suggestions:

[1] http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3262
    Covers VM_Common interface header files 
[2] http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3263
    Covers VM_JIT and VM_EM interface header files
[3] http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3264
    Covers VM_Interpreter interface header files

Would be great if you could find time to look through the proposed
changes and provide patches. :)

Best regards,
Sveta

Subject: [doxygen][doc] commenting bkms draft published on wiki

Hi everyone,
I have posted several tips/suggestions [1] about writing nice code
comments in source header files for generating readable Doxygen
reference materials [2]. These guidelines are to define some ground
formatting and stylistic rules that would be good to follow when adding
comments to code. 
Your feedback is most welcome because together we can find the best
solutions.

The current reference documentation is often incomplete, out-of-date
and/or not formatted correctly, which greatly decreases its usefulness.
Volunteers are very welcome to supply patches with more commented code.
The BKMs, samples and quoted bugs are mostly based on DRLVM materials,
so classlib input is also welcomed.

You can get involved in one of the following areas or open new JIRAs
with your own suggestions/fixes:

[3] improving formatting of code comments so that Doxygen parses them
correctly
[4] enabling creation of structurally meaningful doc bundles and adding
intros (mainpage content) to each bundle
[5] beautifying Doxygen output 
[6] monitoring quality and quantity of available Doxygen documentation 

Thanks, 
Nadya Morozova
