[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR(M): 8212043: Add floating-point Math.min/max intrinsics

[Pengfei Li (Arm Technology China)]

Hi,

Could any other committer help merge this intrinsics patch?
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212043
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pli/rfr/8212043/webrev.01/
It is reviewed by aph and adinn.

I'm preparing another auto-vectorization patch which depends on this one.
