> As the comment suggests, the VM state is altered when preparing and
> performing the static dump, so this change aims to prevent these state
> changes so the VM can exit normally after the static dump completes. There
> are three major aspects to this change:
> 1. Since the resolved references array in the Constant Pool is altered when
> preparing for a static dump, a "scratch copy" is created and archived instead
> 2. Symbols are sorted by address and have their hash recalculated. Similarly
> to point 1, the copies of the symbols that are to be archived have their
> hashes updated as opposed to the originals.
> 3. The handling of -Xshare:dump during argument parsing such that the VM can
> continue and exit normally with an exit code of 0.
>
> Verified with tier 1-9 tests.
