Duplicate symbols that were based on the incorrect field name, classAndDepthFlags, rather than the correct name, classDepthAndFlags, are no longer referenced in downstream projects. This change removes them.
The downstream OpenJ9 project defines a new method, TR_VMBase::testIsClassArrayType, that generates IL to tests whether a class is an array class. Change code that generated IL that loaded classDepthAndFlags field itself to call testIsClassArrayType instead to hide at least some of the J9-specific details.

This pull request changes some
J9_PROJECT_SPECIFICcode in Loop Versioner to use the methodtestIsClassArrayTypeto hide some of the lower-level details of generating IL to determine whether a class represents an array type class.Also, a previous pull request — #7330 — introduced duplicate enum constant and method names for accessing the
classDepthAndFlagsfield ofj9classin the downstream OpenJ9 project. Now that the old names are no longer used in the downstream project, those duplicate definitions can be removed.
