RFR: 8295146: Clean up native code with newer C/C++ language features [v3]

[Julian Waters]

> After [JDK-8292008](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8292008) and [JDK-8247283](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8247283), some C and C++ code across the JDK can be replaced and simplified with cleaner language features that were previously not available due to required compatibility with the now unsupported Visual C++ 2017 compiler. These cleanups were highlighted by the very briefly integrated 8296115
> 
> No changes to the behaviour of the JDK has resulted in any way from this commit
