If a base class is package-private then its subclasses should have the same 
package name and defining class loader, otherwise `IllegalAccessError` is 
thrown when linking a subclass. Currently when dumping a static archive 
separate `URLClassLoader`s are used for each unregistered classes' source. Thus 
if two unregistered classes, a package-private base class and a sub class, from 
the same package reside in different sources `IllegalAccessError` will be 
thrown when linking the sub class. This can be unexpected because the app could 
have used a single class loader for both classes and thus not have seen the 
error — see `DifferentSourcesApp.java` from this patch for an example of such 
app.

This patch fixes the issue by using a single class loader for all unregistered 
classes. CDS does not allow classes with the same name making such solution 
possible.

Implementation note: `URLClassLoader` does not allow selecting a specific URL 
to load a specific class — I used reflection to override a private part of 
`URLClassLoader` responsible for URL selection while being able to use the rest 
of its implementation.
