[vm/compiler] Teach compiler to fold load of type_args_len from constant args desc.

This allows optimizer to eliminate redundant code branching on type_args_len
which arises when inlining generic methods.

Start refactoring how loads of native fields are represented: instead of simply
setting a bunch of unrelated attributes introduce NativeFieldDesc structure
that captures attributes of native fields, which don't have representation
as Field objects.

Over the time we should be able to eliminate "raw" LoadField/StoreInstanceField
instructions that just address fields by their offset and use NativeFieldDesc-s
in load forwarding to disambiguate different native fields that happen to
have the same offset.
