RFR: 8337876: [IR Framework] Add support for IR tests with @Stable

It is currently not possible to write IR tests with `@Stable` annotations because one need to somehow add the IR test classes to the boot classpath. This patch provides support to write such IR tests. I've added a section to the README to provide guidance on how this can be done.

This is motivated by https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/19635.

I've tested this patch by taking the current patch of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/19635, dropping the `RestrictStable` flag and modifying the tests to work with the new IR framework feature:

TestFramework testFramework = new TestFramework();
testFramework
        .addFlags("-XX:-TieredCompilation",
                  "-XX:+UseParallelGC")
        .addTestClassesToBootClassPath()
        .start();


Thanks,
Christian
