6939224: MethodHandle.invokeGeneric needs to perform the correct set of 
conversions

Until now, the HotSpot JVM has conflated invokeExact with invokeGeneric.  These 
changes, combined with forthcoming JDK runtime support changes, provide a hook 
for the JVM to perform on-the-fly argument conversions in invokeGeneric calls, 
as specified by the JSR 292 EG.

This review is for the JDK parts, which (a) distinguishes correctly between the 
two invocation modes, and (b) performs an upcall to Java code when argument 
types need matching.
