The fix implements support for flat value object by heapwalking API.

FollowReferences/IterateThroughHeap are executed at safepoint and agent callbacks may request to set/update tags for the reported object. To store tags for flattened object at safepoint a special tag table is used (entries contain strong references to holder objects), entries from the table are converted to entries in main tag table outside of safepoint.
