> The goal of this PR is to implement an x86_64 intrinsic for java.lang.Math.cbrt() using libm. There is a new set of micro-benchmarks are included to check the performance of specific input value ranges to help prevent regressions in the future.
> 
> The command to run all range specific micro-benchmarks is posted below.
> 
> `make test TEST="micro:CbrtPerf.CbrtPerfRanges"`
> 
> The results of all tests posted below were captured with an [Intel® Xeon 6761P](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241842/intel-xeon-6761p-processor-336m-cache-2-50-ghz/specifications.html) using [OpenJDK v25-b21](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/releases/tag/jdk-25%2B21) as the baseline version.
> 
> For performance data collected with the new built in range micro-benchmark, see the table below. Each result is the mean of 8 individual runs, and the input ranges used match those from the original Java implementation. Overall, the intrinsic provides a major uplift of 169% when very small inputs are used and a more modest uplift of 45% for all other inputs.

> Finally, the `jtreg:test/jdk/java/lang/Math/CubeRootTests.java` test passed with the changes.
