This patch reduces work done initializing VarForms - mostly observed when loading each VarHandle implementation class.

- Lazily resolve MemberNames.
- Streamline MethodType creation. This reduces the number of MethodTypes created. 

Net effect is a reduction in bytecode executed per VH class by 50-60%.
