[lworld] RFR: 8251046: [lworld] [lw3] C1 should avoid heap allocations in withfield when possible [v2]

[Frederic Parain]

> Please review this patch which reduces the number of heap allocations when executing the withfield bytecode with C1.
> The CR linked below contains a more detailed description of the optimization:
> 
> CR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8251046
> 
> A rudimentary benchmark shows encouraging numbers:
> Measuring inline type creation time with -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1
> Inline class Point has two int fields.
> Inline class Rectangle has four int fields.
> 
> Without the optimization:
> Benchmark                                Mode  Samples   Score  Score error  Units
> o.s.MyBenchmark.testPointCreation        avgt      200   7.573        0.027  ns/op
> o.s.MyBenchmark.testRectangleCreation    avgt      200  21.387        0.067  ns/op
