This PR is a combination of two independent investigations
Tagged pointer prototype - I attempted to hack the CoreCLR so that I replace a normal function pointer by a tagged MethodDesc/InterpreterMethodInfo to allow a pure interpreted execution (i.e. no dynamic code generation). The prototype does not work completely, it only works for a few calls, but it shows how this could be done.
ReadyToRun interpreter integration study - this one is NOT implemented, this just resulted in a document describe how the current code work for a particular scenario (ReadyToRun code calls a static method) and where in the code we could change to implement something quickly for this particular case.
This is meant to be shared, not meant to be merged.
