If JVM TI GetLocalXXX/SetLocalXXX is called from a virtual thread with the thread parameter set to NULL (meaning current thread) then it should get/set the value of the locals in the virtual thread frames. Instead, it reads the carrier thread locals and/or crashes.

The fix is that the relevant checking of the jthread parameter for NULL and adjusting it to current thread is added.
It is done in new utility `function current_thread_obj_or_resolve_external_guard(jthread thread)`. For more convenient testing the same adjustment is done in the JVM TI extension function `GetCarrierThread()`.

The test serviceability/jvmti/vthread/GetSetLocalTest is updated to add previously missed test coverage.

The test serviceability/jvmti/vthread/VThreadTest has been updated to adopt to update behavior of the `GetCarrierThread`.

The fix was verified with the test/hotspot/jtreg/serviceability/jvmti/vthread/ tests.

The fix was also tested with the existing JVM TI and JDI tests to make sure no regressions are introduced.
