C1 Class.cast optimization breaks when Class is loaded from static final

        This is observed in VarHandles work for JDK-8130923.

        The reason is that C1 canonicalizer seems to assume a particular constant shape (InstanceConstant), while the Class instances coming through @Stable/static-final seem to be ObjectConstants. Accepting ObjectConstants as well fixes it:

        Simple benchmark articulates it clearly:

        (Runnable JAR: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8131782/benchmarks.jar)

        Baseline result calls into Runtime::isInstance in "static final" case, experiencing the 2x hit:

        Patched VM behaves perfectly well in both cases:
