RFR: 8358680: AOT cache creation fails: no strings should have been added [v4]

> Background: when writing the string table in the AOT cache, we do this:
> 
> 1. Find out the number of strings in the interned string table
> 2. Allocate Java object arrays that are large enough to store these strings. These arrays are used by `StringTable::lookup_shared()` in the production run.
> 3. Enter safepoint
> 4. Copy the strings into the arrays
> 
> This bug happened because:
> 
> - Step 1 is not thread safe, so it may be reading a stale version of `_items_count`
> - JIT compiler threads may create more interned strings after step 1
> 
> This PR attempts to fix both issues.
