[9] RFR (S) 8147978: Remove Method::_method_data for C1

[Chris Plummer]

Ok. I can go either way on this particular example. However, when you 
start to get a lot of methods using the #ifdefs, it looks cleaner if you 
have just one #ifdef/#else/#endif for all of them. For example, see #if 
INCLUDE_NMT in memTracker.hpp. So do we want consistency in our approach 
to these #ifdefs, or do we want flexibility based on how many #ifdefs 
we'll end up with?

thanks,

Chris
