RFR(S) 8077504: Unsafe load can loose control dependency and cause crash

> Vladimir suggested privately to set _depends_only_on_test to true in the constructor and then use an explicit call to a new a method set_depends_only_on_test() to set it to false in the rare cases where it’s needed. That feels better indeed. What do you think?

Actually, using a set_depends_only_on_test() method doesn’t work well. In LibraryCallKit::inline_unsafe_access() the node returned by make_load() may have been transformed already and we could call set_depends_only_on_test() on a node that doesn’t need to be pinned. The call to set_depends_only_on_test() would have to be in LoadNode::make(). I went with default parameters instead to keep the change small:
