A new comparison operand was created to be used by new CMove and JMP definitions with the APX specific portions of the CMove section being updated to rely on the new instructions because both sets of instructions are always expected to be available on the same platform. New floating point comparison definitions were also added.

To make sure no new failures were introduced, tier1, tier2, and tier3 tests were run on builds with and without the changes. Additionally, the JTREG tests listed below were used to verify correctness with `-XX:-UseAPX` / `-XX:+UseAPX` options. The baseline build used is [OpenJDK v26-b26](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/releases/tag/jdk-26%2B26).
