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.

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.

I changed the code as suggested.

Now __SOFTFP__ is used instead of ABI_HARD and the `#ifdef` is inside the `JVM_CONSTANT_Double` case only, loading double constants as needed.
Other changes are only renaming labels.
