JDK-8154079 - Catch incorrectly included .inline.hpp files
Description
As a step towards getting the code base to better adhere to our StyleGuide rules regarding include files, I propose that we move the two trivial functions in universe.inline.hpp over to universe.hpp.

An alternative would be to start to move functions using the functions in universe.inline.hpp, and that has a large fan out, so I think the proposed solution is better.
Comments
Coleen pointed out that: 1) field_type_should_be_aligned isn't needed anymore because the single place where it is used, it always evaluates to true 2) element_type_should_be_aligned is only used in arrayOop.hpp and could move there instead. So, the proposal is to remove field_type_should_be_aligned and move element_type_should_be_aligned to arrayOop.hpp.
