Migrate from using Unsafe to FFM's MemorySegment API for allocating and setting 
native memory.
This code is used by Metal, OpenGL and D3D, so I manually tested SwingSet2 and 
J2Demo as well as running all the usual tests.
I also did some micro-benchmarking on the performance of Unsafe vs 
MemorySegment.
The performance of either is more than sufficient for us .. ie they could be 
10x slower and we wouldn't even notice.
But they are in the same ballpark, and if one or the other is clearly faster it 
is the new FFM code.
