> Libgraal is compiled ahead of time and should not need any JVMCI Java code to 
> be dynamically loaded at runtime. Prior to this PR, this is not the case due 
> to:
> 
> * Code to copy system properties from the HotSpot heap into the libgraal 
> heap. This is in 
> `jdk.vm.ci.services.Services.initializeSavedProperties(byte[])` and 
> `jdk.vm.ci.services.Services.serializeSavedProperties()`. This code should be 
> moved to `java.base/jdk.internal.vm.VMSupport`.
> * Code to translate exceptions from the HotSpot heap into the libgraal heap 
> and vice versa. This code should be moved from 
> `jdk.internal.vm.ci//jdk.vm.ci.hotspot.TranslatedException` to 
> `java.base/jdk.internal.vm.VMSupport`.
> 
> This PR makes the above changes. As a result, it's possible to build a JDK 
> image that includes (and uses) libgraal but does not include 
> `jdk.internal.vm.ci` or `jdk.internal.vm.compiler`. This both reduces 
> footprint and better isolates the JAVMCI and the Graal compiler as accessing 
> these components from Java code is now impossible.
