RFR: 8269004 Implement ResizableResourceHashtable

In HotSpot we have (at least) two hashtable designs in the C++ code:

- share/utilities/hashtable.hpp
- share/utilities/resourceHash.hpp

Of the two, the `ResourceHashtable` API is much cleaner and most new code has been written with it. However, one issue is that the `SIZE` of `ResourceHashtable` is a compile-time constant. This makes the hash-to-index computation very fast on x64 (gcc can avoid using the slow divq instruction for modulo). However, the downside is we cannot use `ResourceHashtable` when we need a hashtable whose size is determined at run time (and, optionally, resizeable).

This PR refactors `ResourceHashtable` into a base template class `ResourceHashtableBase`, whose `size()` function can be configured by a subclass to be either constant or runtime-configurable. 

Note: since we want to preserve the performance of `hash % SIZE`, we can't make `size()` a virtual function.

Preliminary benchmark shows that this refactoring has no impact on the performance of the constant `ResourceHashtable`. See https://github.com/iklam/tools/tree/main/bench/resourceHash:

*before*
ResourceHashtable: 2.70 sec

*after*
ResourceHashtable: 2.72 sec
ResizableResourceHashtable: 5.29 sec

To make sure `ResizableResourceHashtable` works, I rewrote some CDS code to use `ResizableResourceHashtable` instead of `KVHashtable`
