> Simplify the layout access var handles to be direct in some common cases. Also made `VarHandle::isAccessModeSupported` report if an access mode is supported for a VH.
>
> Reduces the instructions to execute this code in a simple main by 47%:
>
> long[] arr = new long[8];
> var ms = MemorySegment.ofArray(arr);
> ms.setAtIndex(ValueLayout.JAVA_BYTE, 12, (byte) 3);
>
>
> Main overheads in FFM are identified to be:
> 1. Eager initialization of direct MethodHandle; can be CDS archived
> 2. MH combinator forms via LambdaFormEditor, not cached right now and always have large overhead
>
> Still need other measures to deal with common user patterns of `MethodHandles.insertCoordinates(vh, 1, 0L)` which currently is still very slow.
>
> Tests: 2 unrelated failures on tier 1-3
