Foreign memory access with classes

[Johannes Lichtenberger]

@Gavin Ray <ray.gavin97 at gmail.com>, is the source code of UmbraDB somewhere
available? Of course, it should possible to pad the pages to a certain
predefined length if required (currently, the page fragments are
word-aligned, but maybe I should also introduce a bunch of predefined
buffer-classes -- should also have some advantage in regards to io_uring,
for instance) :-)

@Maurizio Cimadamore <maurizio.cimadamore at oracle.com>, can you give a small
example? I've never used the Linker API but will have a look into it. I'm
updating the project to every new Java version, so currently using Java 19.
