RFR: 8338011: CDS archived heap object support for 64-bit Windows

We didn't support CDS archived heap object on Windows because

- The Windows implementation of `os::map_memory()` cannot map the contents of a file into a region that's already reserved by the garbage collector.
- We had a high failure rate for mapping the CDS archive on Windows due to ASLR, sometimes as high as 50%. So it didn't seem worth the effort (mainly testing) to support archived heap objects on Windows.

Both of the above issues were fixed in [JDK-8231610](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8231610), so we should add the support to Windows now.

(Tested on Oracle CI tiers 1-7)
