RFR: 8073093: AARCH64: C2 generates poor code for ByteBuffer accesses

java.nio.DirectByteBuffer.getXXX is slow for types larger than byte
because the runtime does not know that AArch64 can perform unaligned
memory accesses.
The problem is due to this code in java.nio.Bits.unaligned():
unaligned = arch.equals("i386") || arch.equals("x86")
|| arch.equals("amd64") || arch.equals("x86_64");
If we add AArch64 to this list code quality is very much improved.
