Hi all,
Please review this patch to get rid of the oopDesc::load/store functions
and to move the oopDesc::encode/decode functions to a new CompressedOops
subsystem.

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8199946
When the Access API was introduced many of the usages of
oopDesc::load_decode_heap_oop, and friends, were replaced by calls to
the Access API. However, there are still some usages of these functions,
most notably in the GC code.
This patch is two-fold:
1) It replaces the oopDesc load and store calls with RawAccess equivalents.
2) It moves the oopDesc encode and decode functions to a new, separate,
subsystem called CompressedOops. A future patch could even move all the
Universe::_narrow_oop variables over to CompressedOops.
The second part has the nice property that it breaks up a circular
dependency between oop.inline.hpp and access.inline.hpp. After the
change we have:
oop.inline.hpp includes:
access.inline.hpp
compressedOops.inline.hpp
access.inline.hpp includes:
compressedOops.inline.hpp
Thanks,
StefanK
