[lworld] RFR: 8242210: [lworld] TestCallingConvention::test36 spuriously fails

Problems:
- G1 pre- and post-barriers used when (un-)packing arguments for the calling convention can call into the runtime which
  screws up argument registers. Save all registers until JDK-8232094 is fixed in mainline (it's the slow path anyway).
- SignatureStream::as_value_klass triggers a SystemDictionary lookup which acquires the ProtectionDomainSet_lock. When
  used from fieldDescriptor::print_on_for when some debug printing flags are enabled, this conflicts with the tty_lock.
  We should simply use get_value_field_klass instead. Also, we should handle null as a vale for non-flattened fields.
  TraceDeoptimization needs to handle re-allocation of the inline type return value.

I've also added a new StressCC option to the ValueTypeTest suite to randomly restrict some compilation to C1 and
thereby stress test the calling convention.
