Corrected an issue with reference counts with field puts.

Okay so there are system calls which do not make sense to be system calls in
the VM, they would be super complicated. So in this case I am going to do
pure and unpure system calls. All normal `sysCall`s are treated as unpure and
so a special handler method will be called in its place. This will allow
any of them to be replaced by the VM itself. However for SpringCoat and
JavaSE all system calls will be considered pure. Since there are things like
garbage collection that could be done. So this makes it much easier and I
can override any of them.

Think it would be time to remove the conversions and anything related to
long/float/double.
