Please review this PR with a simple solution for resolving duplicate `Thread` symbol issue. In https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14808 comments, there was an alternative suggestion to redefine the symbol at build time, such as using`-DThread=HotSpotThread`. That would not address issues when symbol were references as string literals. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14808 also discussed using namespace for hotspot code, which can have multiple benefits/motivations. We could explore further using namespace with more consensus on that approach.
