This PR tries store CONSTANT_FieldRef entries in the resolved state whenever it's safe to do so.
I.e., when a constant pool entry in class `A` refers to a *non-static* field `B.F`, - `B` must be the same class as `A`; or - `B` is a supertype of `A`; or - `B` is one of the [vmClasses](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3d4185a9ce482cc655a4c67f39cb2682b02ae4fe/src/hotspot/share/classfile/vmClasses.hpp), and `A` is loaded by the boot class loader. Under these conditions, it's guaranteed that whenever `A` tries to use this entry at run time, `B` is guaranteed to have already been resolved in A's system dictionary, to the same value as resolved during dump time. Therefore, we can safely archive the `ResolvedFieldEntry` in class `A` that refers to `B.F`.
