Also, MacroAssembler code was added to save/restore the result of the upcall around the call on the back-edge, which was previously missing. Since the new code allocates a handle block as well, I've added handling for those oops to frame & OptimizedUpcallBlob.

David, I've addressed your review comments.

For now I went with changing the return type of `on_entry` to `JavaThread*`, assuming the potential pointer conversion is not an issue. 

I tried for a while to implement a static assert to check that `Thread*` is trivial convertible to `JavaThread*` as well, but couldn't find a way to do that at compile time, so left it for now. It looks like C++ 20 has a type trait to check this: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/is_pointer_interconvertible_base_of (I think this does what we want). I thought maybe we could just mimic the reference implementation, but looking at for instance the MSVC STL implementation, this type trait is implemented as a compiler intrinsic, so I think we'll have to wait until we are on C++ 20 before adding such a static assert.
