This change makes it possible to use a VirtualThread for the QuicSelectorThread. The default will be to use a VirtualThread on all platforms except the Windows platform. We might consider switching the default for Windows platform too once [JDK-8334574](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334574) is fixed.
The change should be transparent for users of the API. However, using a VirtualThread may result in subtle differences in thread scheduling and class loading, so this change also includes an escape hatch (a non documented internal system property) that could be used to revert to a platform thread in case of unexpected issues. That property may be removed in a future version of the JDK.
