Test.java of JDK-8286104 reveals this issue. This patch allows c2 parser to collect liveness based on next bci for unstable_if traps.  In most cases, next bci is closer to exits, so live locals are diminishing.  It helps to reduce the number of inputs of unstable_if traps.

I adapt test from [TestEliminateBoxInDebugInfo.java](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2401/files#diff-49b2e38825aa4c28ca196bdc70c3cbecc2e835c2899f4f393527df4796b177ea), so part of credit goes to the original author.  I found that Scalar replacement can take care of the object `Integer ii = Integer.valueOf(value)` in original test even it can't be removed by later inliner.  I tweak the profiling data of Integer.valueOf() to hinder scalar replacement.

2 tests failed so far. I put information into RFE.
