RFR: 8268151: Vector API toShuffle optimization

The Vector API toShuffle method can be optimized  using existing vector conversion intrinsic.

The following changes are made:
1) vector.toShuffle java implementation is changed to call VectorSupport.convert.
2) The conversion intrinsic (inline_vector_convert()) in vectorIntrinsics.cpp is changed to allow shuffle as a destination type.
3) The shuffle.toVector intrinsic (inline_vector_shuffle_to_vector()) in vectorIntrinsics.cpp now explicitly generates conversion node instead of performing conversion during unbox. This is to remove unnecessary boxing during back to back vector.toShuffle and shuffle.toVector calls. 

Best Regards,
Sandhya
