RFR (XS): 8010460: Interpreter on some platforms loads ConstMethod::_max_stack and misses extra stack slots for JSR 292

[Volker Simonis]

What a pity :(

I havn't thoroughly reviewd this, but maybe you could make ConstMethod
'extra_stack_entries_for_indy' aware as well, to avoid the extra
bytes?

Keeping the change as it is would require making _max_stack a int which would add 4 bytes to every ConstMethod (going from 8 x u2 fields to 7 x u2 fields + a int field).
