RFR: 8251462: Remove legacy compilation policy

This change removes the legacy compilation policy and an emulation mode to the tiered policy to simulate the old behavior with ```-XX:-TieredCompilation```. The change removed a bunch of interpreter code, devirtualizes the compilation policy API, adds a consistent way to query compiler configuration with the new ```CompilerConfig``` API.

I've tested this with hs-tier{1,2,3,4,5}. And also made sure it builds and works with C1/C2-Graal/AOT being enabled/disabled.

Since there are platform-specific changes I would greatly appreciate some help from the maintainers of the specific ports to verify the build and run basic smoke tests. I've already tested x64 and aarch64. Thanks!
