> The compatible lifecycle `ThreadStart/ThreadEnd` events were added in JDK 19 to support legacy virtual thread unaware JVMTI agents which do not enable the can_support_virtual_threads capability. When this capability is enabled then the `VirtualThreadStart/VirtualThreadEnd` instead of the `ThreadStart/ThreadEnd` events are generated for virtual threads and can be managed (enabled/disabled) separately. If the the `can_support_virtual_threads` capability is disabled then the `ThreadStart/ThreadEnd` events are generated for virtual threads.
> This enhancement is to get rid of the compatible lifecycle `ThreadStart/ThreadEnd` events.
> Motivation: Performance overhead from compatible lifecycle events can be significant when a lot of virtual threads are created.
>
> Also, there is an experimental VM flag `PostVirtualThreadCompatibleLifecycleEvents` (enabled by default).
> If it is turned on then the default compatible lifecycle `ThreadStart/ThreadEnd` events for virtual threads are generated. This VM flag has to be removed now.
>
> Testing:
> The mach5 tiers 1-6 were submitted and passed.
