Hi,

please review this fix for the template interpreter for ARM32-softfp.

With the introduction of condy, the interpreter started to load double constants using the condy_helper, which is unnecessary. Also, the [resolve_ldc](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/8973867fb9568a3a527b763c9ce10cebdfb306d0/src/hotspot/share/interpreter/interpreterRuntime.cpp#L148) implementation of the interpreter runtime might not be designed to load constant values. It should only load strings and condy.

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/2ee56fd1cf4acd634e19cc77b7c9a6858e1c315a/src/hotspot/cpu/arm/templateTable_arm.cpp#L515-L560

I refactored the ldc2_w bytecode imlpementation. Now, the ifdef between soft and hard float covers both types, CONSTANT_Long and CONSTANT_Double. I did this, because for the softfp, we can use a conditional cmp, since double and long are both placed on the stack in the same way. The same is also done for CONSTANT_Integer and CONSTANT_Float in the ldc bytecode implementation. Also, I think it is easier to follow the code this way.

Old ldc2_w implementation (before condy was implemented for ARM32):

Testing: ARMv7-A (hardfp) hotspot tier1, ARMv5TE (softfp) hotspot tier1
