This change initializes the event configurations (known as event handlers in earlier JDKs) early, in order to avoid potential deadlocks (see [description in the issue](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8371889)).

JDK 21 is the last JDK where this is relevant, that code has been completely reworked in JDK 22 (e.g. [JDK-8319374](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8319374)).

Testing:
 - [x] jdk/jfr
 - [x] tier1
