> This patch removes the restriction in the raw library loading mechanism that does not allow mix-n-match of loading a library as a JNI library and as a raw library.
> 
> The raw library loading mechanism is designed for panama to load native library essentially equivalent to dlopen/dlclose calls independent of JNI library loading. If a native library is loaded as a JNI library and a raw library, it will get different NativeLibrary instances. When a class loader is being unloaded, JNI_Unload will be invoked but the native library may not be unloaded until NativeLibrary::unload is explicitly called for the raw library.

  No need for explicit locking for raw loading
