Shenandoah: Simplify arraycopy-barrier dispatching

        Currently, calling the arraycopy dispatches 3 times in a row:

        1. In the asm stub (GC or no GC)
        2. In arraycopy_pre (marking or evac/update)
        3. In arraycopy_update (evac or update)

        This can be simplified by doing only the fast-path branch in asm stub, and the GC-phase dispatch once in the runtime.

        In addition, there are various cleanups that can be done on the way.
