JDK-8271959 - [lworld] Convert Optional and VBS classes to value class
Description
A number of core classes in Valhalla are converted to value classes.
When preview is enabled class loading and all other access to the classes needs to find and return the alternate classes.

The original prototype mechanism leveraged the module patching system.
Moving the replacement classes to reside in jimage will provide more consistent access.
