      Implement ConstantDynamic with required hotspot and JDK changes supporting the existing arity and varargs patterns specified for the invocation of bootstrap methods.

      ldc instructions and bootstrap method arguments can reference a ConstantDynamic entry in the constant pool.

      The HotSpot implementation may include the ability to push arguments but this functionality will be disabled (behind a HotSpot flag) and will not be exposed via a public API (see JDK-8186210). Such an approach makes it easier manage the HotSpot changes.
