Adds a meta class change listener for constant meta classes

Retrieves the MetaClassCreationHandle that is responsible for constructing MetaClass instances
Returns all registered class change listener for constant meta classes.
Gets a snapshot of the current constant meta classes and returns it as Iterator. Modifications done using this Iterator will not cause a ConcurrentModificationException. If a MetaClass is removed using this Iterator, then the MetaClass will only be removed if the MetaClass was not replaced by another MetaClass in the meantime. If a MetaClass is added while using this Iterator, then it will be part of the Iteration. If a MetaClass replaces another constant meta class, then the Iteration might show two meta classes for the same class.
Note: This Iterator may not used with multiple threads.
