If used from virtual thread, such TerminatingThreadLocal(s) are not registered with the carrier thread for the cleanup.
> The fix introduces an internal CarrierThreadLocal subclass of ThreadLocal which rewires its API methods to use current thread's carrier thread as the source of ThreadLocalMap instead of current thread itself (if it is a VirtualThread for example). TerminatingThreadLocal is now a subclass of CarrierThreadLocal. It seems only per-carrier-thread caching is a usecase for it. The uses of JavaLangAccess in various places to access a carrier-thread value of given ThreadLocal has been replaced by public API calls and the use of CarrierThreadLocal instead of plain ThreadLocal. JavaLangAccess is still used to dispatch the CarrierThreadLocal API methods, but only for that. Would someone be tempted to use JavaLangAccess methods directly, they now require CarrierThreadLocal argument to guard against missuses.

Since it must wait for 30 seconds for that to happen, only one of the test cases is performed in this mode. The correct logic of TerminatingThreadLocal is still verified with all test-cases using platform threads that can be terminated more rapidly.
