This patch adds a finer-grained access control for memory segments; instead of the ad-hoc `MemorySegment::asReadOnly`,
we now support a more complete `MemorySegment::withAccessModes`, where access modes is an int mask.
Supported access modes are `READ`, `WRITE`, `CLOSE` and `ACQUIRE`, which gives much more freedom to clients when it
comes to create restricted views (I've added a new section on that in the MemorySegment toplevel javadoc).
I also did some minor changes, mostly to get rid of confinement restrictions where such restrictions were not needed
(e.g. `MemorySegment::asSlice`).
