RFR 8145628: hotspot metadata classes shouldn't use HeapWordSize or heap related macros like align_object_size

[harold seigel]

Hi Coleen,

The changes look good.

One comment, these two methods in globalDefinitions.hpp appear to be no-ops:

498 inline intptr_t align_metadata_size(intptr_t size) {
499 return align_size_up(size, 1);
500 }
501
502 inline intptr_t align_metadata_offset(intptr_t offset) {
503 return align_size_up(offset, 1);
504 }

Are the size and offset arguments already in words? If so, could you add 
a comment?

Thanks, Harold
