[foreign] RFR 8222765: Implement foreign memory access through VarHandle

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

After a closer look, it seems like the first parameter to the macro is 
not used. The macro GenerateVarHandleXYZ does, as its first thing:

$1_Type := $2

And then keeps using $1_Type after that.

Maybe the $1 parameter is some remains of older code.
