The ZGC support is straightforward but the nmethod entry barrier required some reworking to fit better into JVMCI usage.  I also removed the epoch based barrier since it was no longer used with simplified the assumptions on the JVMCI side.  There is also a minor loom related fix to support post call nops included.  I could move that into a separate PR if that would be preferred.

Ok.  I wondered why it was still around since it seemed pretty obviously dead.  I'll restore that code and expose the extra state needed to support code generation for it.  Are 3 different strategies really required?
