Custom gradient registration is broken in Windows

Since we've upgrade to TF 2.10.1, the JVM crashes on Windows when attempting to register custom gradients. This has been observed when running the unit tests. Right now, custom gradient registration in Windows has been disabled until this issue is fixed. Seems to be related to a wrong pointer returned by TF_OperationName.

Here's some traces:

The generated JNI code:

        env->ThrowNew(JavaCPP_getClass(env, 7), "This pointer address is NULL.");
        return 0;
    }
    jlong position = env->GetLongField(obj, JavaCPP_positionFID);

        JavaCPP_initPointer(env, arg0, rptr0, rsize0, rowner0, &StringAdapter< char >::deallocate);
    } else {
        env->SetLongField(arg0, JavaCPP_limitFID, rsize0 + position0);
    }
    return rarg;
}

Also, this binding seems to receive a special treatment from our end: https://github.com/tensorflow/java/blob/455fc731ece7aba751e7ec7ee1cd06dff3a1bfe0/tensorflow-core/tensorflow-core-api/src/main/java/org/tensorflow/internal/c_api/presets/tensorflow.java#L391

CustomGradientTest.testCustomGradient とクラッシュに示された NameMap.erase のエントリポイントから始め、次に tensorflow-core-api/src/main/java/org/tensorflow/internal/c_api/presets/tensorflow.java の 391 行目付近にある特殊なバインディング処理を調べます。Windows でカスタム勾配のユニットテストを再現し、JVM のクラッシュなしに登録が完了することを確認します。
