[jdk25u-dev] RFR: 8373832: Test java/lang/invoke/TestVHInvokerCaching.java tests nothing

Backporting JDK-8373832: Test java/lang/invoke/TestVHInvokerCaching.java tests nothing.

This PR fixes a test bug where getFields() is incorrectly used to discover package-private fields. Since getFields() only returns public fields, no VarHandle was actually being tested, causing a newly added assertFalse to fail.

For parity with Oracle JDK.

Ran related tests on linux-x64, linux-aarch64, macos-aarch64 and windows-x64:

make test TEST=test/jdk/java/lang/invoke/TestVHInvokerCaching.java
