>> [JDK-8351569](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8351569) refactored `Unsafe::getAndSet` (which is used by `VarHandle::getAndSet`) to take value-classes into account, which implies that checks must be introduced to see if the target and argument objects are value-classes. This is done with a new overloaded `getAndSet` method that is now called instead of the old one. This method is not intrinsified (only inlined) and doesn't result in a `GetAndSet` node. It instead relies on the `compareAndSet` method (which gets intrinsified) and results in a `CompareAndSwap` node.

Thanks for the review @TobiHartmann!
