Noticed that `Interpreter::profile_taken_branch` has the same `sbbptr` pattern we have eliminated with [JDK-8356946](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8356946). The same logic applies here: the counter is 64-bit, never practically overflows, and no other code cares about it.

Also tidied up some comments around it.

Additional testing;
 - [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `tier1 tier2`
