It restores the behavior of `Method::get_c2i_unverified_entry` or `Method::get_c2i_no_clinit_check_entry` for abstract methods as it was before JDK-8365501. It was never the intention of JDK-8365501 to change the behavior.

It would be nice to have a test for this.  Currently, it looks like calling get_c2i_no_clinit_check_entry with an abstract method is impossible.  The same might be true for get_c2i_unverified_entry.
