> This change fixes a long standing performance issue related to the debugger 
> single stepping that is using JVMTI `FramePop` events as a part of step over 
> handling. The performance issue is that the target thread continues its 
> execution in very slow `interp-only` mode in a context of frame marked for 
> `FramePop` notification with the JVMTI `NotifyFramePop`. It includes other 
> method calls recursively upon a return from the frame.
> 
> This fix is to avoid enforcing the `interp-only` execution mode for threads 
> when `FramePop` events are enabled with the JVMTI 
> `SetEventNotificationMode()`. Instead, the target frame has been deoptimized 
> and kept interpreted by disabling `OSR` optimization by the function 
> `InterpreterRuntime::frequency_counter_overflow_inner()`. (Big thanks to 
> @fisk for this suggestion!) Additionally, some tweaks are applied in several 
> places where the `java_thread->is_interp_only_mode()` is checked.
> The other details will be provided in the first PR request comment.
> It is considered to file a SCR for this update a `FramePop` events do not 
> enforce the `interp-only` mode for a target thread anymore which might break 
> some expectations (the behavior has been changed).
> 
> Testing:
>  - test `serviceability/jvmti/vthread/ThreadStateTest` was updated to provide 
> some extra test coverage
>  - submitted mach5 tiers 1-6
