> Separates GC triggering from class reclamation waiting in vmTestbase ClassUnloader.
>
> The original implementation used an implicit wait loop regardless of caller needs. Because the necessity of waiting is caller-specific, this PR introduces an explicit `unloadClassAndWait(timeout)` API. This allows callers to document their specific reasons for waiting (e.g., race conditions with JDWP or background compilation) while keeping `unloadClass()` simple for those who don't need to wait.
>
> - Introduced `unloadClassAndWait(timeout)` and simplified `unloadClass()`.
> - Updated `compmethunload001` and `AbstractDebuggeeTest` to use the explicit waiting API with documented rationale.
>
> Test: tier1-5, `vmTestbase/nsk`
