RFR 8174954: Parameter target type is allowed access after a module read edge or a package export has occurred after failed resolution

Hi David,

MethodAccessReadTwice.java is an indy test.  Lines 120 - 153 test that 
the same invokedynamic instruction gets the same result.  The 
invokedynamic instruction gets generated for the string concatenation at 
line 31 of file .../p5/c5.java:

       24 package p5;
       25
       26 import java.lang.Module;
       27 import p2.c2;
       28
       29 public class c5 {
       30     public void method5(p2.c2 param) {
       31         System.out.println("In c5's method5 with param = " + param);
       32     }
       33
       34     public void methodAddReadEdge(Module m) {
       35         // Add a read edge from p5/c5's module (first_mod) to second_mod
       36         c5.class.getModule().addReads(m);
       37     }
       38 }

The indy resolution throws an IAE because package p5's module cannot 
read package p2's module.

The second test case, at lines 156 - 161 of MethodAccessReadTwice.java, 
similarly tests invokedynamic instructions.  In this case, they are 
generated for the string concatenations at lines 32 and 43 of file 
.../p7/c7.java.

This problem does not exist for non-indy instructions because, when 
their resolutions fail, they update the constant pool.  Indy cannot do 
this because, unlike other instructions, different indy instructions 
that use the same constant pool index are allowed to get different 
results.  Hence, the fix is indy only.

Thanks, Harold
