The JVMTI VirtualThreadStart events have to follow the ThreadStart events pattern and so, should not be thread-filtered.
The fix includes:
 - `jvmti.xml`: remov the attribute `filtered="thread"` in the `VirtuallThreadStart` event spec
 - `jvmtiEventController.cpp`: remove the `VTHREAD_START_BIT` from the `THREAD_FILTERED_EVENT_BITS` mask and and it to the `NEED_THREAD_LIFE_EVENTS` mask
 - `jvmtiExport.cpp`: rearrangements in the `JvmtiExport::post_vthread_start()` function

The fix also includes a couple of minor unification tweaks:
 - to align `JvmtiExport::post_thread_end()` with `JvmtiExport::post_vthread_end()` which have a little bit more optimized check for the `JVMTI_PHASE_PRIMORDIAL`.
 -  to rename the local variable `cur_thread` as `thread` to follow the common pattern in `JvmtiExport::post_vthread_start()` and `JvmtiExport::post_vthread_end()`
 
 Testing: ran mach5 tiers 1-6. All tests are passed.
