> This PR is a significant refactor of the `MemoryLayout` sealed hierarchy and whose purpose is described more in detail in  https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8291826. In short, the main purpose is to allow pattern matching.
> 
> The objective of the PR is to fix the issues described above while retaining as much API compatibility as possible with the pre-PR API. No changes were needed in any of the existing tests for example.
> 
> The old sealed hierarchy prevented pattern matching with totality from being used and implied a number of other problems as illustrated in the picture below:

> 
> Red nodes cannot be used in pattern matching. Light red nodes are implementations that are visible in the API. White nodes are interfaces.
> 
> After this PR has been integrated, an improved sealed hierarchy will exist as depicted here:

> Gray "Impl" nodes are internal and not exported by the `java.base` module. White nodes are interfaces.

> Below, the "Principal Totalities" for the new API are outlined:

> var v1 = switch (memoryLayout) {
>   case GroupLayout gl -> 0;
>   case PaddingLayout pl -> 0; // leaf
>   case SequenceLayout sl -> 0; // leaf
>   case ValueLayout vl -> 0;
> };
> var v2 = switch (memoryLayout) {
>   case PaddingLayout pl -> 0; // leaf
>   case SequenceLayout sl -> 0; // leaf
