Review request (M): 7118863: Move sizeof(klassOopDesc) into the *Klass::*_offset_in_bytes() functions

[Stefan Karlsson]

Updated patch:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/7118863/webrev.02/

The function names and the return types have been changed, to prevent 
this change from silently breaking ports of HotSpot.

The compile.cpp oddity will be fixed before this is pushed.
