> This patch adds an instance method on `Linker`, namely
> `Linker::canonicalLayouts` which returns all the layouts known by the linker
> as implementing some ABI type. For instance, if I call this on my machine
> (Linux/x64) I get this:
>
>
> jshell> import java.lang.foreign.*;
>
> jshell> Linker.nativeLinker().canonicalLayouts()
> $2 ==> {char16_t=c16, int8_t=b8, long=j64, size_t=j64, bool=z8, int=i32, long
> long=j64, int64_t=j64, void*=a64, float=f32, char=b8, int16_t=s16,
> int32_t=i32, short=s16, double=d64}
>
>
> This can be useful to discover the ABI types supported by a linker
> implementation, as well as for, in the future, add support for more exotic
> (and platform-dependent) linker types, such as `long double` or `complex
> long`.
