[lworld] RFR: 8345995: [lworld] Flat arrays need to be redesigned to support new flat layouts [v5]

[Frederic Parain]

> Here's a redesign of flat arrays to support multiple flat layouts (NON_ATOMIC_FLAT, ATOMIC_FLAT, NULLABLE_ATOMIC_FLAT). The patch contains a lot of cleanup and simplification of the flat arrays access code.
> 
> This patch has been tested in interpreted mode only on both x86_64 and aarch64.
> 
> Unfortunately, it currently triggers a number of failures when run with JITs enabled. After a discussion with Tobias, this PR will probably not be integrated until a patch for the JITs is available.
