As the follow-up for [JDK-8256999](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8256999), we can directly test for the (absence of) GC barriers in C2 `Reference.refersTo` intrinsic. This would be come less relevant for G1 after Late Barrier expansion lands, but would still be relevant for Shenandoah for a while. It would also be good for backports.

Additional testing:
 - [x] Test fails when I deliberately remove `AS_NO_KEEPALIVE` from the C2 intrinsic
 - [x] Test passes with GC explicitly passed as `TEST_VM_OPTS`
