[foreign-memacces] RFR 8227278: Remove CompoundLayout

[Jorn Vernee]

Hi,

Really like this patch!

Some comments:

- Part of the CoumpoundLayout.Path javadoc was moved to Layout it seems, 
but the text still mentions 'compound layout' here and there.
- Layout::dereferenceHandle javadoc mentions a `pathOperator`, but this 
doesn't seem to exist for this method (guess it was changed to 
`elements`?)
