RFR JDK-8232222: Set state to 'linked' when an archived class is restored at runtime

[Ioi Lam]

Hi Jiangli,

Before we spend time on the CSR review, do you have any data that shows 
the actual benefit of doing this? I am specifically asking about the 
benefit to JVMTI agents.

As I mentioned before, there's an alternative, which is to not use the 
optimization when JVMTI is enabled. I don't think we should spend time 
worrying about the impact to JVMTI agents unless there's a compelling 
reasons to do so.

Thanks
- Ioi
