RFR: 8377554: Load card table base and other values via AOTRuntimeConstants in AOT code [v2]

> Generated stubs and nmethods embed some runtime-derived constants, such as the card table base, directly into code as instruction operands. AOT code generation cannot rely on these constants being valid between the assembly run and a production run and adjusting the constants at load time is not currently supported. So, instead AOT generation must employ code which loads the constants from a table whose address can be relocated at load time.
