There is a lot of code in AArch64 port that hooks up to the built-in simulator. That simulator was
used to bootstrap/develop the port when hardware was not available. This simulator is not needed
now, and we should remove it to unclutter the code.
Removal webrev:

The only thing that feels risky for me is removal of call_VM_leaf_base1 in
templateTable_aarch64.cpp, please take a thorough look.
I am planning to backport it to 11u and 8u-aarch64 too.
Testing: linux-aarch64-fastdebug tier1, tier2; linux-x86_64-fastdebug builds; jdk-submit (running)
