This patch is a batch naming cleanup for the foreign linker implementation.

The naming changes are as follows:

  - ProgrammableInvoker -> DowncallLinker
  - ProgrammableUpcallHandler -> UpcallLinker
  - 'native invoker' -> 'downcall stub'
  - 'optimzed entry blob' -> 'upcall stub'
  - OptimizedEntryBlob -> UpcallStub
  - optimized_entry_frame -> upcall_stub_frame

Then renaming of some hotspot files:

  - universalNativeInvoker* -> downcallLinker*
  - universalUpcallHandler* -> upcallLinker*
  - foreign_globals* -> foreignGlobals* (to match existing convention)
  
Method, field, and other variable names are also adjusted accordingly.
