RFR (M) 8222074: Enhance auto vectorization for x86

[Vladimir Ivanov]

I tried to submit it for testing and spotted a build failure w/ clang:

.../src/hotspot/cpu/x86/x86.ad:1515:26: error: '&&' within '||' 
[-Werror,-Wlogical-op-parentheses]
              (vlen == 64) && (VM_Version::supports_avx512bw() == false))
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.../src/hotspot/cpu/x86/x86.ad:1515:26: note: place parentheses around 
the '&&' expression to silence this warning
              (vlen == 64) && (VM_Version::supports_avx512bw() == false))
                           ^
              (                                                         )

I'll let you know how the testing is going.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
