**Describe the bug** When repeatedly creating type system instances with lots of classes on a Java 17+ system, it appears that the JVM class metaspace can be exhausted. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Create a large type system description 2. Repeatedly create type systems from that description 3. Monitor class metaspace Diagnosis so far: it appears that `TypeSystemImpl.computeAdjustedFeatureOffsets()` will always initialize the `type2jcci` map of the `TypeSystemImpl` instance. As part of this, `FSClassRegistry.createJCasClassInfo()` is repeatedly called which creates new generator callsites (lambdas) that start clogging up the metaspace. It seems this may be related to [JDK-8302154](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8302154) - before Java 15 apparently these callsites could be easily garbage collected and now this is more difficult. **Expected behavior** A solution might be to use the global JCCI cache maintained in `FSClassRegistry` when populating the `TypeSystemImpl.type2jcci` maps to avoid repeatedly creating the generator lambdas. **Please complete the following information:** - Version: 3.5.0 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
