I noticed that current VarHandle/Unsafe test cases do not test the 
always-failing cases. Strong CASes do test both always-success and 
always-failing scenarios, while weak CASes only test spurious-failure tests. We 
should be also testing always-failing cases for these. Weak CAS can spuriously 
fail, but it cannot spuriously succeed.

The PR looks large, but the actual changes are in `*.template` files, and the 
rest is generated from them.

Additional testing:
 - [x] Linux x86_64 fastdebug `java/lang/invoke/VarHandles` and 
`compiler/unsafe` tests
 - [x]  Linux x86_32 fastdebug `java/lang/invoke/VarHandles` and 
`compiler/unsafe` tests
 - [ ]  Linux AArch64 fastdebug `java/lang/invoke/VarHandles` and 
`compiler/unsafe` tests
