>> * Code to translate exceptions from the HotSpot heap into the libgraal heap and vice versa. This code should be moved from `jdk.internal.vm.ci//jdk.vm.ci.hotspot.TranslatedException` to `java.base/jdk.internal.vm.VMSupport`.

>> This PR makes the above changes. As a result, it's possible to build a JDK image that includes (and uses) libgraal but does not include `jdk.internal.vm.ci` or `jdk.internal.vm.compiler`. This both reduces footprint and better isolates the JAVMCI and the Graal compiler as accessing these components from Java code is now impossible.
