RFR: 8308762: Metaspace leak with Instrumentation.retransform [v2]

[Jean-Philippe Bempel]

> Fix a small leak in constant pool merging during retransformation of a class. If this class has a catch block with `Throwable`, the class `Throwable` is pre-resolved in the constant pool, while all the other classes are in a unresolved state. So the constant pool merging process was considering the entry with pre-resolved class as different compared to the destination and create a new entry. We now try to consider it as equal specially for Methodref/Fieldref.
