RFR: 8202711: Merge tiered compilation policies

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Hi Cleas,

First, please explain why tiered compilation policies "should be merged 
into a single policy"?

After these changes there is no difference between 
CompilationPolicyChoice 2 and 3. Why you kept both?

Changes looks good but I wish all compilation policy files moved into 
hostpot/share/compiler directory. But it could be done separately 
otherwise current review will be difficult.

Good.

Thanks,
Vladimir
