Summary: Enhance the ahead-of-time cache, which enables the HotSpot
Java Virtual Machine to improve startup and warmup time, so that it can
be used with any garbage collector, including the low-latency Z Garbage
Collector (ZGC). Achieve this by making it possible to load cached
Java objects sequentially into memory from a neutral, GC-agnostic
format, rather than map them directly into memory in a GC-specific
format.
