RFR: 8287788: reuse intermediate segments allocated during FFM stub invocations [v6]

[Matthias Ernst]

> Certain signatures for foreign function calls (e.g. HVA return by value) require allocation of an intermediate buffer to adapt the FFM's to the native stub's calling convention. In the current implementation, this buffer is malloced and freed on every FFM invocation, a non-negligible overhead.

> To alleviate this, this PR remembers and reuses up to two small intermediate buffers per carrier-thread in subsequent calls.

> `-prof gc` also shows that the new call path is fully scalar-replaced vs 160 byte/call before.
