RFR 8207814: (proxy) upgrade the proxy class generator

[Remi Forax]

A follow up should to use constant dynamic (introduce in Java 11) to get the j.l.r.Method object instead of pre-calculating all of them in the static init block.
The idea is that a ldc on a constant dynamic with bootstrap method that takes a MethodHandle as parameter (as boostrap argument) can return the corresponding Method by using Lookup.revealDirect + reflectAs.
The bootstrap method can be added to j.l.i.ConstantBootstraps

This should consume less bytecode (the MethodHandle is directly encodable as a constant pool constant) and only creates the j.l.r.Method if the interface method is actually called.
