This patch optimizes vectorial Min/Max reduction of two floating-point numbers on aarch64 with NEON instructions `fmaxp` and `fminp`.

Passed jtreg tier1-3 tests with `linux-aarch64-server-fastdebug` build.
Tests under `test/jdk/jdk/incubator/vector/` runned specially for the correctness and passed.

Introduced a JMH micro `test/micro/org/openjdk/bench/vm/compiler/VectorReductionFloatingMinMax.java` is used for performance test.
Witnessed abount `37%` performance improvements on Kunpeng916. The JMH Results:
Benchmark                (COUNT)  (seed)  Mode  Cnt    Score   Error  Units
# Kunpeng 916, default
VectorReduction.maxRedD      512       0  avgt   10  678.126 ± 0.815  ns/op
VectorReduction.maxRedF      512       0  avgt   10  242.958 ± 0.212  ns/op
VectorReduction.minRedD      512       0  avgt   10  678.554 ± 0.824  ns/op
VectorReduction.minRedF      512       0  avgt   10  243.368 ± 0.205  ns/op

# Kunpeng 916, with fmaxp/fminp
VectorReduction.maxRedD      512       0  avgt   10  430.201 ± 0.353  ns/op => 36.56%
VectorReduction.maxRedF      512       0  avgt   10  243.404 ± 0.297  ns/op
VectorReduction.minRedD      512       0  avgt   10  427.805 ± 0.528  ns/op => 36.89%
VectorReduction.minRedF      512       0  avgt   10  242.963 ± 0.210  ns/op
