RFR: 8350983: JShell LocalExecutionControl only needs stopCheck() on backward branches [v3]

> JShell's `LocalExecutionControl` ensures a running eval thread can be stopped by `JShell.stop()` by inserting an invocation of `stopCheck()` at every branch point in the bytecode of loaded classfiles.
> 
> However, this same guarantee can be provided by invoking `stopCheck()` only at backward branches and not at forward branches. By doing this, the performance and size impact on the executing code can be reduced.
> 
> Fortunately the new ClassFile API makes this kind of modification easy 👍
