RFR (M) 8140802 - Clean up and refactor of class loading code for CDS

[Ioi Lam]

A "final" webrev (before I go on vacation :-)

      http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iklam/8140802-cds-refactoring.v03/

There's a single line changed from the previous webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iklam/8140802-cds-refactoring.v03/root/modules.xml.sdiff.html

The reason is to allow the use of @CallerSensitive in the jdk.vm.cds module.

Thanks
- Ioi
