[foreign-memaccess] RFR: 8248487: Add static helpers to access segments [v3]

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

> This patch addresses some usability issues in the foreign memory API. First, it adds several static accessors for all
> carrier types in MemoryLayouts (I'm thorn whether to add this in MemoryLayouts or MemoryHandles, suggestions welcome).
> These accessors provide an access API that is similar to unsafe - all accessors expect a base address plus a byte
> offset. In most cases the accessors can be used and direct VH usage can be dropped, which might make approaching this
> API a bit easier.  Secondly, I've added a bunch of helpers to map a segment into _any_ array (as opposed to just
> `byte[]`). This makes the API more symmetric, given that, after all we _were_ able to create a segment from _any_ array
> (not just `byte[]`).
