[9] RFR(M): 8130832: Extend the WhiteBox API to provide information about the availability of compiler intrinsics

[John Rose]

Yes, that will work, and I think it is cleaner than what we had before, as well as providing the new required functionality.

Reviewed; please get a second reviewer.

P.S. If the unit tests want to test (via the whitebox API) whether an intrinsic was compiled successfully, we might want to expose Compile::gather_intrinsic_statistics, etc.  But not in this change set.

P.P.S. As I think I said before, I wish we had a way to consolidate the switch statements further (into vmSymbols.hpp).  But I don't see a clean way to do it.
