RFR: 8304743: Compile_lock and SystemDictionary updates [v3]

> The SystemDictionary is updated and read under the Compile_lock but this is unnecessary because the table is a concurrent hashtable, and the lock doesn't really synchronize any other compilation state.  The lock may have protected other state that Dependencies used in the past but has been removed.   See discussion in CR for more information.
> Tested with tier1-8.
