RFR: 8329418: Replace pointers to tables with offsets in relocation bitmap

The beginning of the RW region contains pointers to c++ vtables which are always located at a fixed offset from the shared base address at runtime. This offset can be calculated at dumptime and stored with the read-only tables at the top of the RO region. As a further improvement, all the pointers to RO tables are replaced with offsets as well.

These changes will reduce the number of pointers in the RW and RO regions and will allow for the relocation bitmap size optimizations to be more effective. Verified with tier 1-5 tests.
