Patch vtable slots and similar when tiering is enabled
For a method eligible for code versioning and vtable slot backpatch:
- It does not have a precode (`HasPrecode()` returns false)
- It does not have a stable entry point (`HasStableEntryPoint()` returns false)
- A call to the method may be:
- An indirect call through the `MethodTable`'s backpatchable vtable slot
- A direct call to a backpatchable `FuncPtrStub`, perhaps through a `JumpStub`
- For interface methods, an indirect call through the virtual stub dispatch (VSD) indirection cell to a backpatchable `DispatchStub` or a `ResolveStub` that refers to a backpatchable `ResolveCacheEntry`
- The purpose is that typical calls to the method have no additional overhead when code versioning is enabled
Recording and backpatching slots:
- In order for all vtable slots for the method to be backpatchable:
- A vtable slot initially points to the `MethodDesc`'s temporary entry point, even when the method is inherited by a derived type (the slot's value is not copied from the parent)
- The temporary entry point always points to the prestub and is never backpatched, in order to be able to discover new vtable slots through which the method may be called
- The prestub, as part of `DoBackpatch()`, records any slots that are transitioned from the temporary entry point to the method's at-the-time current, non-prestub entry point
- Any further changes to the method's entry point cause recorded slots to be backpatched in `BackpatchEntryPointSlots()`
- In order for the `FuncPtrStub` to be backpatchable:
- After the `FuncPtrStub` is created and exposed, it is patched to point to the method's at-the-time current entry point if necessary
- Any further changes to the method's entry point cause the `FuncPtrStub` to be backpatched in `BackpatchEntryPointSlots()`
- In order for VSD entities to be backpatchable:
- A `DispatchStub`'s entry point target is aligned and recorded for backpatching in `BackpatchEntryPointSlots()`
- The `DispatchStub` was modified on x86 and x64 such that the entry point target is aligned to a pointer to make it backpatchable
- A `ResolveCacheEntry`'s entry point target is recorded for backpatching in `BackpatchEntryPointSlots()`
Slot lifetime and management of recorded slots:
- A slot is recorded in the `LoaderAllocator` in which the slot is allocated, see `RecordAndBackpatchEntryPointSlot()`
- An inherited slot that has a shorter lifetime than the `MethodDesc`, when recorded, needs to be accessible by the `MethodDesc` for backpatching, so the dependent `LoaderAllocator` with the slot to backpatch is also recorded in the `MethodDesc`'s `LoaderAllocator`, see `MethodDescBackpatchInfo::AddDependentLoaderAllocator_Locked()`
- At the end of a `LoaderAllocator`'s lifetime, the `LoaderAllocator` is unregistered from dependency `LoaderAllocators`, see `MethodDescBackpatchInfoTracker::ClearDependencyMethodDescEntryPointSlots()`
- When a `MethodDesc`'s entry point changes, backpatching also includes iterating over recorded dependent `LoaderAllocators` to backpatch the relevant slots recorded there, see `BackpatchEntryPointSlots()`
Synchronization between entry point changes and backpatching slots
- A global lock is used to ensure that all recorded backpatchable slots corresponding to a `MethodDesc` point to the same entry point, see `DoBackpatch()` and `BackpatchEntryPointSlots()` for examples
Due to startup time perf issues:
- `IsEligibleForTieredCompilation()` is called more frequently with this change and in hotter paths. I chose to use a `MethodDesc` flag to store that information for fast retreival. The flag is initialized by `DetermineAndSetIsEligibleForTieredCompilation()`.
- Initially, I experimented with allowing a method versionable with vtable slot backpatch to have a precode, and allocated a new precode that would also be the stable entry point when a direct call is necessary. That also allows recording a new slot to be optional - in the event of an OOM, the slot may just point to the stable entry point. There are a large number of such methods and the allocations were slowing down startup perf. So, I had to eliminate precodes for methods versionable with vtable slot backpatch and that in turn means that recording slots is necessary for versionability.

* Remove context statics stuff part 1
This change removes all context statics stuff from the runtime since
context statics are not supported and this code was obsolete.
* Remove context statics stuff from the debugger code

* Enable thread statics for collectible classes
This change removes checks that were preventing usage of thread statics
in collectible classes and also implements all the necessary changes.
The handles that hold arrays with thread statics are allocated from
LoaderAllocator for collectible classes instead of using the global
strong handle like in the case of non-collectible classes.
The change very much mimics what is done for regular statics.
This change also adds ability to reuse freed handles to the
LoaderAllocator handle table. Freed handle indexes are stored into a
stack and when a new handle allocation is requested, the indices from
this stack are used first.
Due to the code path from which the FreeTLM that in turn frees the
handles is called, I had to modify the critical section flags and also
refactor the handle allocation so that the actual managed array
representing the handle table is allocated out of the critical section.
When I was touching the code, I have also moved the code that was
dealing with handles that are not stored in the LoaderAllocator handle
tables out of the critical section, since there is no point in having it
inside of it.

- Rename ContainsStackPtr to IsByRefLike. It is the term used for this kind of types in ECMA spec.
- Change the check to be based on flag instead of hard coded list of types
