> Add the ability to pass heap segments to native code. This requires using 
> `Linker.Option.critical(true)` as a linker option. It has the same 
> limitations as normal critical calls, namely: upcalls into Java are not

> segments are exposed to native code through temporary native addresses that 
> are valid for the duration of the native call.

> The motivation for this is supporting existing Java array-based APIs that

> Components of this patch:
> 
> - New binding operator `SegmentBase`, which gets the base object of a 
> `MemorySegment`.
> - Rename `UnboxAddress` to `SegmentOffset`. Add flag to specify whether 
> processing heap segments should be allowed.
> - `CallArranger` impls use new binding operators when 
> `Linker.Option.critical(/* allowHeap= */ true)` is specified.
> - `NativeMethodHandle`/`NativeEntryPoint` allow `Object` in their signatures.
> - The object/oop + offset is exposed as temporary address to native code.
> - Since we stay in the `_thread_in_Java` state, we can safely expose the oops 
> passed to the downcall stub to native code, without needing GCLocker. These 
> oops are valid until we poll for safepoint, which we never do (invoking pure 
> native code).
> - Only x64 and AArch64 for now.
> - I've refactored `ArgumentShuffle` in the C++ code to no longer rely on 
> callbacks to get the set of source and destination registers (using 
> `CallingConventionClosure`), but instead just rely on 2 equal size arrays 
> with source and destination registers. This allows filtering the input java 
> registers before passing them to `ArgumentShuffle`, which is required to 
> filter out registers holding segment offsets. Replacing placeholder registers 
> is also done as a separate pre-processing step now. See changes in: 
> https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/16201/commits/d2b40f1117d63cc6d74e377bf88cdcf6d15ff866
> - I've factored out `DowncallStubGenerator` in the x64 and AArch64 code to 
> use a common `DowncallLinker::StubGenerator`.
> - Fallback linker is also supported using JNI's 
> `GetPrimitiveArrayCritical`/`ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical`
