So it has the basic assumption `FileMapHeader::_generic_header` is at offset 0 of FileMapHeader. Therefore, in FileHeaderHelper::initialize, we should add an assert:

This caused compiling error: since FileHeaderHelper is not a friend of FileMapHeader so no access to its fields:
error: 'GenericCDSFileMapHeader CDSFileMapHeaderBase::_generic_header' is inaccessible within this context
