RFR: 8265128: [REDO] Optimize Vector API slice and unslice operations [v4]

[Sandhya Viswanathan]

> All the slice and unslice variants that take more than one argument can benefit from already intrinsic methods on similar lines as slice(origin) and unslice(origin).
> 
> Changes include:
>  * Rewrite Vector API slice/unslice using already intrinsic methods
>  * Fix in library_call.cpp:inline_preconditions_checkIndex() to not modify control if intrinsification fails
>  * Vector API conversion tests thresholds adjustment
>  
> Base Performance:
> Benchmark (size) Mode Cnt Score Error Units
> TestSlice.vectorSliceOrigin 1024 thrpt 5 11763.372 ± 254.580 ops/ms
> TestSlice.vectorSliceOriginVector 1024 thrpt 5 599.286 ± 326.770 ops/ms
> TestSlice.vectorSliceUnsliceOrigin 1024 thrpt 5 6627.601 ± 22.060 ops/ms
> TestSlice.vectorSliceUnsliceOriginVector 1024 thrpt 5 401.858 ± 220.340 ops/ms
> TestSlice.vectorSliceUnsliceOriginVectorPart 1024 thrpt 5 421.993 ± 231.703 ops/ms
