RFR: 8243287: Removal of Unsafe::defineAnonymousClass

I did a search on java.base and the tests on `String::indexOf` and 
`String::contains` of a slash and don't spot any such test.  The JDK has 
no use of VM anonymous class.   If the test is trying to determine if 
it's lambda proxy class, it should be converted to call 
`Class::isHidden` but testing of the class name containing a slash is 
still valid (I haven't found any of such test though).

I hope to do this in a follow up RFE.  Some of the tests were modified to use hidden classes, others were deleted because either similar hidden classes tests already exist or they tested dAC specific functionality, such as host classes.
