8354242: VectorAPI: combine vector not operation with compare

[rm-gh-8]

Backporting JDK-8354242: VectorAPI: combine vector not operation with compare.

This PR implements a C2 JIT optimization that changes a negated Vector API mask compare into a single compare with the opposite predicate.

This is a prerequisite for JDK-8370481 (#728) and JDK-8370794, which are for parity with Oracle JDK.

Ran related tests on linux-x64, linux-aarch64, macos-aarch64 and windows-x64:

make test TEST=test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/vectorapi
make test TEST=test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/c2/irTests

Results:

windows-x64-specific-test.log
windows-x64-specific-2-test.log
macos-aarch64-specific-test.log

linux-x64-specific-test.log
linux-x64-specific-2-test.log
linux-aarch64-specific-test.log

Ran the following benchmark on linux-x64, linux-aarch64, macos-aarch64 and windows-x64:

./build/*/images/jdk/bin/java -jar build/*/images/test/micro/benchmarks.jar org.openjdk.bench.jdk.incubator.vector.MaskCompareNotBenchmark

linux-x64-benchmark-test-before-change.log
linux-x64-benchmark-test.log
linux-aarch64-benchmark-test-before-change.log
linux-aarch64-benchmark-test.log

Across all four platforms (linux-aarch64, linux-x64, macos-aarch64, windows-x64), the change did not produce performance regressions.

/approval request for backport of JDK-8354242: VectorAPI: combine vector not operation with compare.

This PR implements a C2 JIT optimization that changes a negated Vector API mask compare into a single compare with the opposite predicate.

This is a prerequisite for JDK-8370481 and JDK-8370794, which are for parity with Oracle JDK.

Low risk — it is a narrow C2 JIT optimization that includes a new test to validate.
