JDK-8151155 - [REDO] Remove Method::_method_data for C1
Description
Currently SA supports calling VM.getVM().isClientCompiler() to see if C1 is supported and VM.getVM().isServerCompiler() to see if C2 is supported. However, there is no way to determine if neither are supported, and instead only JVMCI is supported.

Comments
Closing as WNF since there seems to be no need for this support at this time.

Minimal VM and Emulated client are just marketing labels for a VM built a particular way. Queries should be based on available services/features.

We should also give out information if it is a minimal vm, Emulated client etc.
