I got the TCK compiling locally with the new BeanManager interface, but
rather than adding the bridge methods to the old SPI methods in the abstract
test class, I added them to a separate utility class, because several things
in the TCK that aren't test subclasses use this functionality as well.

I can also add a method to the abstract test class to delegate to the
utility class.
