RFR: 8254807: Optimize startsWith() for String.substring() [v6]

[Xin Liu]

> The optimization transforms code from s=substring(base, beg, end); s.startsWith(prefix)
> to substring(base, beg, end) | base.startsWith(prefix, beg). 
> 
> it reduces uses of substring. hopefully c2 optimizer can remove the used substring.

Xin Liu has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:

  allow C2 to "late" inline the overloaded methods.
  
  Compile::update_string_late_inline clones the callGenerator of the CallJavaNode and change
  the bound ciMethod of it. the function also update the callGenerator in _string_late_inlines.
  The new callnode will be handled in Compile::inline_string_calls.
