The commit in this PR addresses those issues by updating the test specific `ClassFileTransformer` to only instrument application specific class instead of all (core) classes. The test was introduced several years back to verify the feature introduced in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-6263319. As such, the proposed changes in this PR continue to test that feature - we now merely use application specific class' native method to verify the semantics of that feature.

Additionally, without this change I've run the test with a test repeat of 100 with virtual threads enabled and the test hangs occasionally (as expected). With this proposed fix, I have then run the test with virtual threads, around 300 times and it hasn't failed or hung in any of those instances.

@jaikiran there is a lot of unrelated refactoring and style changes here that obscures what the actual fix is.
