[lworld] RFR: JDK-8247663: [lworld] LambdaMetaFactory should allow an inline value projection type to convert to its reference projection type [v2]

[Mandy Chung]

> This patch fixes `LambdaMetaFactory` to allow inline value projection type to convert to its reference projection type.
> 
> `Class::isAssignableFrom` and `Class::asSubclass` are the APIs to determine if a given type can be safely cast to this
> Class.
> -  Class::isAssignableFrom tests if a given type can be converted to this Class via a widening reference conversion.
> - Class::asSubclass tests if a given type can be converted to this Class via a narrowing conversion.
> 
> The current thought is to keep  `Class::isAssignableFrom` and `Class::asSubclass` to respect the class file hierarchy
> and a cast is needed when converting from `V.val` to `V.ref`.   `LambdaMetaFactory` and other frameworks will need to
> extend the type adaptability check to support inline types.  I considered adding `Class::isConvertibleFrom` method but
> we should wait for more use cases proving the need of such convenience method.  This check can be done by calling
> `Class::referenceType` and `Class::valueType`.
