RFR: 8213565: Crash in DependencyContext::remove_dependent_nmethod

[Erik Österlund]

Hi,

Small fix to add new constructor for nmethod to allow making dummy 
nmethods for the test_dependencyContext.cpp that no longer works with 
not properly constructed dummy nmethods due to requiring a vtable to 
call is_unloading() on them.

Incremental:

Full:

Still need one more reviewer for this change.
