[9] RFR(S): 8181742: Load that bypasses arraycopy has wrong memory state

In:

static int test1(int[] src) {
     int[] dst = new int[10];
     System.arraycopy(src, 0, dst, 0, 10);
     src[1] = 0x42;
     return dst[1];
}

LoadNode::can_see_arraycopy_value() replaces the load dst[1] by src[1]
but it does that by cloning the load and doesn't change the memory
edge. C2 then wrongly optimizes the src[1] load right after the store to
src[1] as 0x42. This is fixed by setting the memory edge to the memory
state right before the arraycopy.

This fix is also a nicer fix for 8179678 (ArrayCopy with same src and
dst can cause incorrect execution or compiler crash). Most of the
previous fix is no longer necessary and I removed it.

With that change, the following test breaks:

static Object test5_src = null;
static int test3() {
    int[] dst = new int[10];
    System.arraycopy(test5_src, 0, dst, 0, 10);
    ((int[])test5_src)[1] = 0x42;
    System.arraycopy(test5_src, 0, dst, 0, 10);
    return dst[1];
}

The input to the arraycopy is not an array. The dst[1] load is replaced
by test5_src[1] which is of type Object + some offset so that load
before the second arraycopy won't be on the same slice as the store to
the array and they can reorder. That failure can be reproduced with
-XX:+StressGCM and -XX:+StressLCM by running the test enough
times. LoadNode::can_see_arraycopy_value() now bails out if the source
type is not an array. If guards are emitted before the ArrayCopyNode we
can safely assume test5_src is of array type. To cover that case,
I added a CheckCast to the intrinsification code.

Roland.
