> This PR adds support to JVMCI for CONSTANT_Dynamic constant pool entries. It brings the JVMCI support on par with the support in CI for C1 and C2 with one difference: JVMCI will resolve unresolved condy entries where as CI bails out in this case (it expects condy entries to be resolved by the interpreter).
> 
> When using JVMCI for JIT compilation, unresolved entries should only be seen when running under -Xcomp.
> 
> When using JVMCI for AoT (e.g. Native Image), most entries will be unresolved since no other code apart from the AoT compiler is running.
