RFR(M): optional flattening - interpreter/runtime part

[Frederic Parain]

Tobias,

Thank you for catching that.

There’s a bug in the layout computation, optional flattening code moves non-flattened
values from the value types section of the layout to the nonstatic_oop section, but the size
of the later was not updated accordingly.

Here’s an updated webrev fixing this issue:

Regards,

Fred
