RFR: 8254354: Add an asExact() VarHandle combinator [v6]

[Jorn Vernee]

> Hi,
> 
> This patch adds an asExact() combinator to VarHandle, that will return a new VarHandle that performs exact type checks, similar to MethodHandle::invokeExact, to help developers catch inexact VarHandle usage, which can lead to performance degradation.
> 
> This is implemented using a boolean flag in VarForm. If the flag is set, the exact type of the invocation is checked against the exact type in the VarForm. If there is a mismatch, a WrongMethodTypeException is thrown.
> 
> Other than that, there is also an asGeneric() combinator added that does the inverse operation (thanks to Rémi for the suggestion). I've also added The `@Hidden` annotation to the VarHandleGuards methods, as well as a type-checking helper method called from the generic invocation lambda form, so that the stack trace we get points at the location where the VarHandle is being used.

> Thanks,
