RFR (S): 8003195 - AbstractAssembler should not store code pointers but use the CodeSection directly

[Vladimir Kozlov]

I don't like explicit casting of address to int64 or int32. I would prefer original code moved to codeBuffer as other functions.

An other good cleanup would be remove emit_word() and emit_long() which are very confusing sizewise. But it is for next round.

Thanks,
Vladimir
