RFR: 8309413: Improve the performance of MethodTypeDesc::descriptorString [v7]

[Chen Liang]

> This patch aims to improve the performance of MethodTypeDesc in general, as it is currently a performance bottleneck in the Classfile API. A previous revision changed the parameter storage from an array to a list; this is dropped now. Sorry for the force push.
