This patch addresses [JMC-6246](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JMC-6246).

The usage of `Unsafe.defineClass()` is replaced with:
- for pre-Java 9, reflective access on `ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().defineClass()`
- for Java 9 and later, `MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass()`

Please note that `LookUp.defineClass()` can only define classes within the same package of the lookup. Therefore generated events classes will be in the dedicated package `org.openjdk.jmc.agent.generated_events`, instead of being in the same package of the instrumented class.
