As CodeCache uses `os::can_execute_large_page_memory()` when it detects a page size, CodeCache cannot use static huge pages (`UseTransparentHugePages` is `false`) anymore after the change.

Testing plan:
- Add new tests.
- Run tier1 - tier4:
  - Linux x86_64 and aarch64: normal pages, explicit huge pages and transparent huge pages.
  - Windows x86_64: normal pages and large pages.
  - MacOS x86_64 and aarch64: normal pages
