JDK-8287788 - Implement a better allocator for downcalls.
Description
A binding context used to be defined in terms of two orthogonal components: a segment allocator and a resource scope.

Both these aspects are now modeled using an Arena, so we can simplify the linker implementation by just using SegmentAllocators/Arenas instead of a dedicated Binding.Context class.
