[foreign-jextract] [Rev 04] RFR: JDK-8244270: reorganize ABI-dependent layout constants (second attempt)

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

> This is another attempt to reorganize ABI-dependent layout constants. The constant reorg is identical to the one
> proposed in:
>  https://git.openjdk.java.net/panama-foreign/pull/97
> 
> But this time I've also integrated the changes into the jextract branch (as illustrated in this PR).
> 
> The main realization which led to this work was that we don't need the ABI type enum: we already have the jextract
> primitive type enum. So, we could just define constants for the common ABI types which are useful for ABI
> classification in SystemABI - and then we could start from here in jextract, and augment these layouts by attaching an
> extra attribute with jextract's Primitve/Kind enum.  I've simplified the API a bit by moving the layout inside the enum
> itself (so that the layout can be accessed directly from the enum constant) - and also simplified the primitive type
> factory.  Everything worked out as expected - note how much duplicated layout creation we managed to get rid of.
> One problem I had was that the loader we use inside jextract test was not delegating correctly (was using `null` as
> parent loader) so I had to fix that.
> I'm not 100% sure that this jextract/type extra annotation makes sense - at the end of the day it is now only used
> inside tests (as it makes layout comparison easier - since layouts might have additional attributes such as name and
> such).  So I'm open to suggestion on whether we want to keep it or not - I believe that tests which look for specific
> layouts should instead probably check for specific types instead. Anyway, we can also start from this cleanup, and take
> care of these issues later; the important thing is that, with this rewrite we are finally able to cleanup the ABI
> constants the way we wanted.
