This patch replaces `VMReg` with a new `VMStorage` class in the C++ code, which can be used to represent stack arguments of different sizes, as well as allowing finer grained stack addressing.

The old masm code that used `VMReg` for moving values is also replaced with new code that uses `VMStorage`. And `VMReg` is changed to `VMStorage` everywhere.

The `vmstorageBase` class was added in C++ to mirror the `jdk.internal.foreign.VMStorage`. That class now also has an additional field to encode the size of a stack argument, or a register mask, which can also be used to encode the size of a register argument. This also leads to some stubs needing to be updated on unsupported platforms.

Lastly, instead of encoding stack indexes as 64-bit slots as we did before, they are now encoded as byte offsets, which allows finer grained stack addressing. (this leads to a bunch of values being multiplied by 8 in the Java code as well).
