Bug: Clean up CompactHashtable

    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150607

Summary of fix:

[1] Instead of reading/writing the table bit-by-bit, which is tedious and
    error prone, use SimpleCompactHashtable::serialize(), which is more
    structural.

[2] Split up the _buckets and _entries into two separate arrays, so the
    dumping and walking code is easier to understand

    (see comments above SimpleCompactHashtable declaration)
    These 2 arrays are now allocated from the RO region (used to be in RW)

[3] Renamed a few things

    COMPACT_BUCKET_TYPE -> TINY_BUCKET_TYPE
(having something called "compact" in CompactHashtable is confusing)

    The old names "dump_table" (actually dumping the buckets) and
    "dump_buckets" (actually dumping the entries) were conflicting with
    terminology used elsewhere. Now the terminology is unified:
        "buckets" = the main index, "entries" = the second level.

    lookup_entry -> decode_entry (it wasn't doing any lookup)

[4] Changed all "*p++" to "array->at_put", so out-of-bounds can be
    checked with assert.

[5] Replaced all juint to u4 (suggested by Coleen)

[6] templatize the iterator (see CompactHashtable::symbols_do ->
    SimpleCompactHashtable::iterate)

[7] I also added a test case using Serviceability Agent -- due to the lack of
    a regression test, the walking of the compact hashtable in SA had been
    broken for a while before it was fixed in JDK-8151368, so having a test
    case would make the code more maintainable.

Tests:

    Hotspot JTREG tests
