These are all sites in the JDK code that can migrate to the new preferred pattern. This change also allows these fields to be later declared ACC_STRICT_INIT when strict fields JEP is integrated.
Not only that, I think these are the only valid appearance sites of `CodeBuilder::invokespecial` that represent super calls instead of new instance creations and has associated field store instructions within the whole JDK.
