DATACMNS-1066 - ClassGeneratingPropertyAccessorFactory now opts out on failed access to ClassLoader.

We now eagerly check the accessibility of the defineClass(…) method on the class loader to be used for a PersistentEntity. This will then cause the clients to use a different PropertyAccessorFactory (as things stand today: the one using reflection) and not fail to create the class later on.
