JDK-8315488 - Remove outdated and unused ciReplay support from SA
Description
Some compilation-related fields were removed as part of JDK-8315488. This broke a feature in Async-Profiler which allows inspecting compilation tasks in profiles. The fields are:
- CiEnv* _env
- CompileTask* _task
- ciMethod* _method

I'll propose a patch to revert a small part of the change to bring back the required fields.
