RFR: 8356838: AOT incorrectly sets a cached class's loader type to boot

When the AOT training run sees a class `X` loaded by a custom class loader, we should set `X`'s loader type to `unreg`. However, since [JDK-8348426](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8348426), if the classfile for `X` can also be found under the module path, we will incorrectly set the loader type to `boot`. See `test3()` in the new test code.

The fix is to check for custom class loaders in `ClassLoader::record_result()` before checking the `classpath_index`.

I also cleaned up the code in `ClassLoader::record_result()` and `ClassLoaderExt::record_result_for_builtin_loader()` to reduce redundancy and improve readability.

I added `AOTClassLocationConfig::print()` which can be called inside gdb for debugging purposes.
