`ModuleEntry::_reads` is declared as an GrowableArray<ModuleEntry*>*, but when stored in a CDS archive, it's assigned to an Array<ModuleEntry*>*. To ensure better type safety, `ModuleEntry::_reads` is changed to a generic pointer which uses two different getters and setters as well as two booleans to ensure the value is interpreted correctly. This was chosen to avoid introducing a new field to the ModuleEntry class, as another pointer and further alignment would increase the size of the ModuleEntry array. Verified with tier1-5 tests.
