RFR: 8278863: Add method ClassDesc::ofInternalName

The symbolic constants API (`java.lang.constant`) was designed, in part, to provide bytecode parsing and generation APIs with a validated, common, symbolic form for constants in Java class files. 

There is an easy way to create a `ClassDesc` from a binary name (`ClassDesc::of`) or a field descriptor (`ClassDesc::ofDescriptor`) but not from an internal name. But, the internal name is common in low-level bytecode-manipulation code. 

This patch adds `ClassDesc::ofInternalName` static factory method that creates a `ClassDesc` from class internal name.
Class internal name validation and extended ClassDescTest are also parts of this patch.

CSR is linked with the issue.

Please review.

Thank you,
Adam
