RFR: JDK-8300080: offset_of for GCC/Clang exhibits undefined behavior and is not always a compile-time constant

The implementation of `offset_of` for GCC/Clang only deals with types are aligned to 16 bytes or less, if they are more, such as `zCollectedHeap` the behavior is undefined. UBSan also suggests that `offset_of` is not always a compile time constant, as the stack trace came from the dynamic loader during library loading. This patch changes `offset_of` to use `offsetof` and disables the warning `invalid-offsetof` for the JVM.
