[foreign-jextract] [Rev 01] RFR: 8239493: Add classfile generation to jextract

[Jorn Vernee]

> Hi,
> 
> This patch adds class file generation to jextract using ASM, which in some places replaces the generation done by the
> current source code generator. In particularly, it replaces the generation of all constant fields with static getters,
> that use dynamic constants as backing storage rather than fields. This allows for more sharing between constants, and
> also reduces the pressure on clinit code size a lot, enabling extraction of much bigger native header files. The new
> scheme generates an extra constant helper class which holds all these constants, and the source generator generates the
> high-level wrapper functions. The scheme can also be extended to generate multiple constant helper classes, should we
> run out of constant pool indices (in rare cases).  This patch reworks the interface of JavaSourceBuilder, since extra
> parameters are needed in order to do the new constant generation. For generating methods that need constants, it calls
> into a new ConstantHelper class, which returns a DirectMethodHandleDesc describing the generated constant getter. A
> call to this getter is then emitted.  This patch also merges the HandleSourceFactory and StaticWrapperSourceFactory
> into OutputFactory, since only the latter was ever being used, but the split in code made it a lot harder to reason
> about the correctness of for instance changing C identifiers into java-safe ones. Because of this, the diff for
> OuputFactory looks a bit messy, so maybe it's easier to look at the resulting file as a whole.  The tests are changed
> to look for the now generated static getters, instead of fields (`static final` fields don't work well with dynamic
> constants, since they are eagerly initialized).  As a small bonus, this patch adds the missing ABI-agnostic
> C_LONGDOUBLE constant (this was causing some test failures).  Thanks, Jorn
