[foreign-memaccess] RFR 8235837: Memory access API refinements

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

New revision:

This new patch basically just changes the name of 
MemoryAddress::offset(long) to add(long) and then remove 
MemorySegment::isAccessible() in favor of MemorySegment::owner. Simple, 
and minimal.

I kept the test, as I don't think we had any test specifically for slicing.
