------------------------------

With this patch, reflection maps short values to the schema:

{"type": "fixed", "name": "java.lang.Short", "size": 2}.

Tests are added for arrays of shorts.

> Currently the Java reflect API treats shorts as ints.  This fails however to naturally handle shorts in arrays and other containers.  It would be better if we used a distinct type for reflected Java short values.
