This is a minor cleanup for the JVMTI `interp_only_mode` implementation which 
includes the following changes:
 - The `interp_only_mode` in `JavaThread` is represented with a counter which 
is increment and decremented. This is confusing because this value should only 
take values `0` and `1`. Asserts are placed to make sure it is never going out 
of bounds. The `interp_only_mode` in a `JavaThread` is checked by the 
interpreter chunks which expect it to be an `integer`. This cleanup has no 
intention to make it a boolean.
 - The function `JvmtiThreadState::process_pending_interp_only()` does a sync 
on the `JvmtiThreadState_lock` which is not really needed and is being removed. 
It is called in a `VTMS` transition and so, can not clash with the 
`SetEventNotificationMode` because it sets a `JvmtiVTMSTransitionDisabler`.
 
 Testing:
  - TBD: Mach5 tiers 1-6
