Invoke Channel.down via reflection to allow future upgrade to JGroups 2.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-4258
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4258
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Clustering
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
         Assigned To: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.0.GA

ClusterPartition invokes the JGroups Channel.down(Event) method in one place (startService()).  In JG 2.5, the signature on that method has changed from a void return to an object return.  That causes issues if users attempt to upgrade the AS to 2.5 (see JGRP-449).

A simple way to leave the upgrade path open is to change this call to use reflection. Hacky, but the call happens just once per server start.
