Bug: Clean up and refactor of class loading code for CDS

     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140802

Summary of fix:

     We need to clean up and refactor the class loading code in order
     to support CDS in JDK9

     [1] Remove code that has been made obsolete by the module changes
         (such as supporting code used for meta-index file)
     [2] Add new whitebox API to be used by CDS-related tests.
     [3] Refactor the parsing of classlist files for future enhancements.
     [4] Add new APIs in the class loading code to support Oracle CDS 
enhancements.

Tests:

     JPRT
     RBT - with same set of tests as hs-rt nightly

Thanks
- Ioi
