> Some objects in the archive heap contain native pointers. E.g., archived `java.lang.Class` objects contain a pointer to its `Klass*`.
>
> At runtime, if the archived metadata are mapped at an alternative address, all of the `Klass*` pointers must be relocated. Instead of doing this in an ad-hoc way, this PR uses a bitmap, `FileMapRegion::ptrmap_view()`, to track the position of all the native pointers.
>
> This PR is done in preparation for supporting new types of archived heap objects that have native pointers. E.g., `java.lang.invoke.ResolvedMethodName` has a pointer to a `Method*`.
>
>
> Notes for reviewers:
>
> - At dump time, the native pointers are remembered in `HeapShared::mark_native_pointers()`.
> - At runtime, the native pointers are patched in `ArchiveHeapLoader::patch_native_pointers()`.
> - The ad-hoc relocation code has been removed from javaClasses.cpp and systemDictionaryShared.cpp
> - Many of the changes are for renaming from "oopmaps" to "bitmaps": the old code handled only a single type of pointers (oop references). The new code handles two types of bitmaps ("oopmap" is for oop references, "ptrmap" is for native pointers).
