Summary: enumerateQualifierTypes shouldn't require a class name

Initial Comment:
When you invoke the enumerateQualifierTypes method with a CIMObjectPath with a valid namespace and a null object name, an error is thrown by the client code. This operation shouldn't do any validation on the specified object name parameter because the CIM-XML method EnumerateQualifiers doesn't take a class name parameter.

There is a comment in CIMClientXML_HelperImpl.java which I think is valid (and this checking should be removed):

1338 :	ebak	1.1			String className = pPath.getObjectName();
1339 :	 	 			if (className == null) throw new WBEMException(WBEMException.CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER,
1340 :	 	 					"null class name");
1341 :	 	 			// TODO Proposal: There is no need to require the path to be a class
1342 :	 	 			// path for this operation. Remove the above two lines.
