[9] RFR (L) 8143012: CRC32 Intrinsics support on SPARC

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Additional information from Ahmed:

"CRC32 intrinsics support already exists in the JVM and this is simply enabling them for SPARC. The test file is the 
only shared code added/updated. The existing flag UseCRC32Intrinsics is used to enable/disable these (enabled by default 
on T5/M7).  Performance increases between 2x to 9x depending on the array size."

I reviewed changes and they looks good.

Thanks,
Vladimir
