8219014: (bf) Add absolute bulk put methods which accept a source Buffer

[Paul Sandoz]

I’ll let Brian decide on that from the perspective of Buffers, given IIRC it does not mention anything about overlapping regions.

However, the incubating memory segment API does:

  https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/tip/src/jdk.incubator.foreign/share/classes/jdk/incubator/foreign/MemoryAddress.java#l98 <https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/tip/src/jdk.incubator.foreign/share/classes/jdk/incubator/foreign/MemoryAddress.java#l98>

We can capture something here first.  My preference is an api note.  Care to propose something?

Paul.
