[PATCH 03/63] dyndbg: reword "class unknown," to "class:_UNKNOWN_"

[Louis Chauvet]

> The control-file displays this condition as "class unknown,"
> currently.  That spelling is sub-optimal/too-generic, so change it to
> "class:_UNKNOWN_" to loudly announce the erroneous situation, and to
> make it exceedingly greppable.

> debug's from unintended alteration, "class name" must be given to
> change them.  Classmaps map known classes to reserved .class_ids (the
> 1..64 val range per module).
