RFR(XS): 8043063: Code aging should allocate MethodCounters when flushing a method

[Igor Veresov]

I don’t think it hurts to make sure they exist at this point in the sweeper. In addition to that, only AdvancedTieredPolicy needs them to be present if a method in the queue. Other policies could work fine without MCs, and for example with Xcomp. It would be needless to allocate MCs in that case.
