RFR(M): 8026253: New type profiling points: sparc support

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Roland,

c1_LIRAssembler_sparc.cpp: consider using not short branch instruction 
because the distance could be big (stop() generates a lot of code):

3135       __ ba_short(next);

Otherwise it seems good.

Thanks,
Vladimir
