Trust final fields in records

Hi Remi,

VarHandle does not support write access mode on final fields (see the 
spec of Lookup::findVarHandle[1] and Lookup::unreflectVarHandle[2]).   I 
agree and we need new tests to verify it.

Christoph,

Can you please add the tests for VarHandle and sun.misc.Unsafe access to 
records?  You can reference these tests:

test/jdk/java/lang/invoke/defineHiddenClass/UnreflectTest.java
test/jdk/java/lang/reflect/AccessibleObject/HiddenClassTest.java
test/jdk/sun/misc/UnsafeFieldOffsets.java

Regarding the patch, I'm a little concerned on the performance impact to 
check if it's a record as Class::isRecord is currently a JVM native call 
in particular in UnsafeFieldAccessorFactory and sun.misc.Unsafe.   I can 
add a MemberName::isTrustedFinalField.  I have to look into ways to 
avoid the JVM call to check if a Field's declaring class is a record.

Mandy
