[jdk18] RFR: 8277964: ClassCastException with no stack trace is thrown with -Xcomp in method handle invocation [v2]

[Vladimir Kozlov]

> A proper fix for this is to use the catchException combination. However, that introduces significant cold startup performance regression. JDK-8278447 tracks the work to address the performance regression using catchException and asSpreader combinator. It may require significant work and refactoring which is risky for JDK 18. 
> 
> It is proposed to implement a workaround in C2 to white list the relevant methods (all methods in sun.invoke.util.ValueConversions class) not to omit stack trace when exception is thrown in them.
> 
> Added new regression test. Tested tier1-3.
