RFR: 8306027: Clarify JVMTI heap functions spec about virtual thread stack.

The fix updates JVMTI spec updates description of heap functions to support virtual threads.
Virtual threads are not heap roots by design, so FollowReference/IterateOverReachableObjects specs are updated to note only platform threads.
References from thread stacks (including virtual threads) are reported as JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_STACK_LOCAL/JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_JNI_LOCAL, so description of the values is relaxed.
