RFR (L): 8035857: Add tests to verify correctness of operations with BMI1 and LZCNT instructions

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Filipp,

In Asserts.java (line < longestStringLines.length) condition is strange. 
First, you don't brake the loop, so iterates until line == minLength. So 
the condition can simply check (minLength < longestStringLines.length) 
and you can put 'int line' inside for(). Keep loop index variable 
outside loop is bad practice.

Can you pass WB into CPUInfo() constructor instead of 
wb.getCPUFeatures() to shorter expression?:

new CPUInfo(wb).hasFeature("bmi1")

Or it is difficult?

Thanks,
Vladimir
