RFR: 8287442: Reduce list to array conversions in java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles [v3]

[Claes Redestad]

> In preparation of #8855 this PR refactors the conversions from `List` to array and array to `List`, reducing the number of conversions when calling `MethodHandles.dropArguments` in particular. This remove about ~5% of allocations on the `StringConcatFactoryBootstraps` microbenchmark.
