Hi all, This PR refactors the mark word to use the order of bits as specified in [JEP 450](https://openjdk.org/jeps/450).
Specifically, there are three portions to this change: - Moving the age bits lower to their intended position. - Fixing a miscompilation in the native `hashCode` intrinsic that got unearthed as a result. - Updating the documentation to be more inline with the mainline docs and minimal Valhalla additions. Feedback is welcome, especially for the doc changes. If there are any ideas of other places in which similar miscompilations could occur, that would be valuable to know as well. ------------- Commit messages: - Revise documentation. - Fix hashCode intrinsic miscompilation. - Fix outdated markWord test semantics. - Chuck out weird markWord code. - Emulate old Valhalla decode_pointer behavior. - Fix typo. - Follow JEP450 MarkWord specification.
