This implements a shared utility to dump generated classes defined as normal/hidden classes via `Lookup` API.   This replaces the implementation in `LambdaMetaFactory` and method handle implementation that dumps the hidden class bytes on disk for debugging.   

For classes defined via `Lookup::defineClass`, `Lookup::defineHiddenClass` and `Lookup::defineHiddenClassWithClassData`, by default they will be dumped to the path specified in `-Djava.lang.invoke.Lookup.dumpClasses=<dumpDir>` 

The hidden classes generated for lambdas, `LambdaForms` and method handle implementation use non-default dumper so that they can be controlled via a separate system property and path as in the current implementation.

To dump lambda proxy classes, set this system property:
   -Djdk.internal.lambda.dumpProxyClasses=<dumpDir>

To dump LambdaForms and method handle implementation, set this system property:
   -Djava.lang.invoke.MethodHandle.DUMP_CLASS_FILES=true
   
P.S. `ProxyClassesDumper` is renamed to `ClassFileDumper` but for some reason, it's not shown as rename.
