1. Remove wantToPatchClassPointer() and the hcrPatchClassPointers option …

   These were introduced a long time ago to allow a certain change to be
   toggled. The change was to stop generating runtime assumptions for
   patching class pointers on class redefinition, and to stop generating
   slower but more easily patchable instruction sequences to allow for
   those runtime assumptions. The patching was no longer needed because
   class redefinition had been made in-place.
   
   As a result, wantToPatchClassPointer() and hcrPatchClassPointers are no
   longer necessary. They are removed, and all use sites now behave as
   though hcrPatchClassPointers is not set and wantToPatchClassPointer()
   returns false.
