RFR: 8160821: VarHandle accesses are penalized when argument conversion is required

Since access descriptor is created for each VH operation site, we can optimistically cache the adapted method handle in a site if the site operates on a constant VH.  Used a C2 IR test to verify such a setup through an inexact VarHandle invocation can be constant folded through (previously, it was blocked by `asType`)
