[9] RFR (S): 8150349: Reduce the execution time of the hotspot_compiler_3 group

[Zoltán Majó]

Hi,


please review the patch for 8150349.

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150349

Problem: The hotspot_compiler_3 group of tests takes more than 30 
minutes on our slowest platforms.


Solution: Remove a number of long-running tests from the 
hotspot_compiler_3 group. All removed tests are related to intrinsics, 
that is, they check the functionality of a reduced set of the VM's 
functionality that is not often modified. Also, we execute all removed 
tests daily (in our nightly testing).

Here is the time spent in hotspot_compiler_3 on our slowest platforms 
after removing the tests:

West:
