I moved the initialization closer to VM init sequence, as it _is_ the essential part of VM init, not just argument parsing. This is the same thing I did in my POC patch in [JDK-8343648](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8343648).

Please take a look where I put the `ObjLayout::initialize()` -- I think it is correct, but given it touches the VM init sequence, I would like to be extra careful.
