[foreign-memaccess+abi] RFR: 8315769: Add support for sliced allocation [v2]

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

> This PR adds a new method in `SegmentAllocator`:

> This method allows clients to allocate a new memory segment and copy the contents of a portion of an existing segment into the newly allocated region of memory. As such it can be used to address the following use cases:
> 
> * allocate from a `ByteBuffer`
> * allocate from another memory segment
> * allocate from a Java array slice
> 
> All these cases were not covered by the existing API points, which meant that developers had to use a more general allocation request (such as `allocate(long, long)`) and then pay a performance cost (because of memory zeroing). In other words, the new method in this PR completes the allocation API, by providing a flexible way to allocate a new segment from an existing source (another segment) with given offset and length.
> 
> Given that the new method is more general than the existing array-accepting `allocateFrom`, this PR rewires the existing array-accepting method to be rewritten on top of the new overload (and tweaks the javadoc of such methods accordingly).
> 
> One detail to note is that the new method takes _two_ element layouts - one is the layout of the newly allocated segment, whereas the other is the layout of the source segment. Such layouts must have same alignment and same carrier - but they can have different endianness (in which case a bulk copy with swap is performed). This is not too different from the most general `MemorySegment::copy` static overload.
