Add 'StressIGVN' option to let C2 randomize IGVN worklist order. When enabled,
the worklist is shuffled before each main run of the IGVN loop. Also add
'GenerateStressSeed' and 'StressSeed=N' options to randomly generate or specify
the seed. In either case, the seed is logged if 'LogCompilation' is enabled.
The new options are declared as production+diagnostic for consistency with the
existing 'StressLCM' and 'StressGCM' options.
