RFR: 8198888: Reduce string allocation churn in InvokerBytecodeGenerator

[Claes Redestad]

That few, huh? Well, if you ask me the VM internal name and the java 
class names should have been synced up long ago. :-)

I'd not be averse to some real API point in a future RFE. I think this 
has been dodged in the past to avoid leaking the VM internal 
representation everywhere.
