The handshakes support for virtual threads is needed to simplify the JVMTI implementation for virtual threads. There is a significant duplication in the JVMTI code to differentiate code intended to support platform, virtual threads or both. The handshakes are unified, so it is enough to define just one handshake for both platform and virtual thread.
At the low level, the JVMTI code supporting platform and virtual threads still can be different.
This implementation is based on the `JvmtiVTMSTransitionDisabler` class.

The interface includes, at least, two new classes:
  - `JvmtiHandshake` and `JvmtiUnifiedHandshakeClosure`
  
  The `JvmtiUnifiedHandshakeClosure` defines two different callback functions: `do_thread()` and `do_vthread()`.

The first JVMTI functions are picked first to be converted to use the `JvmtiHandshake`:
 - `GetStackTrace`, `GetFrameCount`, `GetFrameLocation`, `NotifyFramePop`

Testing:
 - the mach5 tiers 1-6 are all passed
