RFR(XS): 8210925 : move bytecode testlibrary to top-level testlibrary

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi Igor,
I think it would be better to postpone this; we currently have at least 
two different snapshots of the API in various JDK repo - the one you are 
looking at has been added by Paul in order to test condy; Valhalla has 
another (slightly tweaked) version to deal with value type support.

Also, the version of the library in jdk/jdk is missing several fixes and 
improvements added over the last year, which constitutes another reason 
not to move the API into a more central place, as doing so will likely 
give a false sense of confidence that the API/impl is mature enough to 
start building upon it.

That said, I'll register this as a note of positive interest in the API 
- which means that Brian, Robert and I should start thinking about how 
to consolidate all these different snapshot, and working on the API in a 
more transparent way.

I hope this makes sense.

Cheers
Maurizio
