[lworld] RFR: 8253416: [lworld] C1: incorrect nestmate access to flattened field if nest-host is not loaded

C1 incorrectly assumes that a nestmate field access is not flat if the nest-host is not loaded.

We are creating the ciField instance for a field in the nest-host via:
`ciField::ciField -> Reflection::verify_member_access -> InstanceKlass::has_nestmate_access_to ->
InstanceKlass::nest_host` Resolving the nest host then requires class loading which is not possible from the C1
compiler thread and as a result we end up with partial field information (is_flattened is always false). The code in
LIRGenerator::flattened_field_load_prolog then assumes that if !field->is_flattened(), the field is indeed not
flattened. However, we can only rely on that information if !needs_patching.

I've completely re-wrote and simplified the complex logic in LIRGenerator::flattened_field_load_prolog and added
asserts/checks to make sure we are not attempting to patch flattened inline type field accesses (that functionality
could be added though but it's not easy).

This patch also includes the following unrelated changes:
- The "new" bytecode needs to throw an exception on inline klasses (the klass might be unloaded). The fix makes sure we
  always take the slow path to "new_instance_no_inline" in that case.
- The "defaultvalue" bytecode needs to throw an exception on non-inline klasses. We simply deoptimize in that case.
- Load/stores from/to fields of an empty inline type should be removed.
- Some refactoring and new asserts.
