> The alternate substitutability method relies on an injected Java object "acmp_maps" which is currently not being archived and thus leads to crashes attempting to run with a CDS archive. The issue stems from inline klasses being archived and thus loaded at dumptime while the acmp_maps oops is generated in the class file parser, leading this oop to be absent at runtime. 
> 
> Additionally, the other injected static field "null_reset" was not being archived either, so both of these fields are properly stored in the archived heap. In the case of CDS/AOT configurations where the heap is not dumped, acmp_maps is regenerated at class loading using a copy of the array stored in metadata.
> 
> Tests and APIs are updated to conform to the new output generated by the use of acmp_maps and remove some test cases which target the old substitutability method.
