RFR: JDK-8365400: add JFR event to capture location (if available) of class files loaded

while existing class loading JFR events exist, none of these provide the path (if available) from which a class is loaded/defined, nor are they easily modified to do so from a compatibility standpoint.

therefore this ER/PR adds a simple JFR event that encapsulates a tuple of class and path that can be enabled in order to provide an audit/debug trail of locations (path, if available) from which a particular class is loaded/defined.

this association can be used for various "applications" such as basic auditing etc
