> This PR reduces the amount of code executed during libgraal initialization. This not only improves VM startup overall but all fixes a number of JDK test failures that are caused by Java code executing "too early". For example, `java/util/Locale/CompatWarning.java` can fail if `sun.util.locale.provider.LocaleProviderAdapter` is initialized before the `CheckWarning` handler is registered.

> Instead of serializing `VM.savedProps` via `VMSupport.serializeSavedPropertiesToByteArray`, the `jdk.vm.ci.services.Services` class now directly reads `Arguments::system_properties()` using `Unsafe`. Furthermore, the value of a system property is lazily converted to a `String` from a C string pointer.

> ## Times
>
> The basic benchmarking below shows that this change brings the time for a nop Java app with eager libgraal initialization (2) down to almost the same time as lazy libgraal initialization (1). The latter typically means no libgraal initialization happens as a top tier JIT compilation is never scheduled in such a short running app.
