> Please review the following change. Some of the JVMTI functions had to be modified since they are not supported by the specs on virtual threads (StopThread, RunAgentThread, GetCurrentThreadCpuTime, GetThreadCpuTime) or shouldn't include virtual threads in the results (GetAllThreads, GetAllStackTraces, GetThreadGroupChildren). Others were modified because they should work on virtual thread but they weren't (SuspendAllVirtualThreads/ResumeAllVirtualThreads). Also support for VirtualThreadStart/VirtualThreadEnd events was added.

> There were a total of 71 tests under serviceability/jvmti/ that had the vm.continuations requirement. Of those, 24 where under serviceability/jvmti/vthread/. I was able to remove that requirement from 50 tests. Most of those tests were already passing for the alternative vthread implementation just by removing the check in jni_GetEnv for VMContinuations.
> From the other 21 tests, 20 still fail with the changes either because they actually test continuations or because of different assumptions in the tests that don't hold true for the alternative vthread implementation. So for those I left the vm.continuations requirement untouched (from those 20 tests there are actually 4 tests from the thread/GetStackTrace/ family that are passing because of a bug in the test, but I can fix that in another RFE). The other remaining test is vthread/GetSetLocalTest/GetSetLocalTest.java which I see is problemlisted.

> Regarding variable _is_bound_vthread, although it's handy as a cache to avoid repeating the check, I mainly added it to avoid transitioning for GetCurrentThreadCpuTime (we are native and cannot access oops).
>
> I added new test BoundVThreadTest.java which just checks for the unsupported/supported behavior mentioned previously. For some extra basic coverage I also added a new run with -XX:-VMContinuations on tests inside the serviceability/jvmti/vthread/ directory that don't require vm.continuations anymore. I could also add that for all the other tests in serviceability/jvmti/ for which I removed the vm.continuations requirement.
>
> I run the patch through mach5 tiers 1-6 plus some extra local runs on the relevant tests.
