[9] RFR(S): 8158228: C1 incorrectly folds mismatched loads from stable arrays

Primarily to keep the code sane :-) Unsafe accesses are the source of 
mismatched accesses and additional checks are required to filter out all 
problematic cases. So, I decided to leave them out when enabled constant 
folding of unsafe loads. My main motivation for the change was to make 
method handles for field / array element accesses as fast as using 
bytecode, and mismatched accesses didn't justify all the complications 
they cause.

Looks good.
