RFR: 8283187: C2: loop candidate for superword not always unrolled fully if superword fails [v2]

[Roland Westrelin]

> IdealLoopTree::policy_unroll_slp_analysis() restricts unrolling of
> loops that are found to be candidate for superword but if superword
> then fails, unrolling doesn't always resume. SuperWord::output() has
> logic for that in one of the failure paths but some other paths are
> not covered (for instance in the case of the test case). I propose
> that superword explictly returns whether it succeeded or not and that
> in case of failure, for a main loop, unrolling be attempted again.
