This change deprecates the -XX:+CriticalJNINatives flag and removes the develop flag -XX:+StressCriticalJNINatives.
See CSR for more details.

This change also removes the lazy GC lock in the critical native transition, and runs the critical native function as
thread_in_Java.  I add a safepoint check at the end of the native function and transition to native and poll again for
the safepoint after the function if a safepoint is requested.

Tested with tier 1-6 (we have a few tests that use this).  And built on
linux-x86-open,linux-s390x-open,linux-arm32-debug,linux-ppc64le-debug.
