RFR: 8282420: JFR: Remove event handlers [v2]

[Erik Gahlin]

> Hi,
> 
> Could I have a review of a fix that removes event handler classes for JFR. Bytecode for event instrumentation is now only added to the event class. Benefits are:
> 
> - No class memory leak in the boot class loader.
> - Reduce overhead from class loading during startup, which is important with additional JDK events that are coming (VirtualThreadStart etc.)
> - One less frame to traverse when recording a Java stack trace.
> 
> Future benefits are:
> 
> - Simplify creating instrumentation as a build step. See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8279354
> - Simplify implementation of Event Metrics. See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8224749
> 
> When the Security Manager is removed, much of the code being added for security reasons can be deleted.
> 
> There are few JFR hooks when code is being linked. Plan is to also use these for other events later. 
> 
> Testing: tier 1-4, jdk/jdk/jfr
> 
> Thanks
> Erik
