           Summary: TypeBuilder.BaseType should not return null for classes

Currently, TypeBuilder.BaseType returns null for classes if no parent is
specified.

We set object as parent in CreateType (causing an extra call to
setup_internal_class), while MS appears to set it immediately.

I tried moving it to the ctor, but that caused bootstrap to fail.

To reproduce, compile and run the following code:

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;

class Program
{
  static void Main ()
  {
    AssemblyName aname = new AssemblyName ();
    aname.Name = "lib";

    AssemblyBuilder ab = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly (
      aname, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run,
      AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);
    ModuleBuilder mb = ab.DefineDynamicModule ("lib.dll");

    TypeBuilder tb = mb.DefineType ("Foo", TypeAttributes.Class, null);
    Console.WriteLine ("Parent NULL? " + (tb.BaseType == null));
  }
}

Expected result:

Parent NULL? False

Actual result:

Parent NULL? True
