RFR: 8304948: [vectorapi] C2 crashes when expanding VectorBox [v3]

[Eric Liu]

> This patch fixes C2 failure with SIGSEGV due to endless recursion.
> 
> With test case VectorBoxExpandTest.java in this patch, C2 would generate IR graph like below:

> This Phi will be optimized by merge_through_phi [1], which transforms `Phi (VectorBox VectorBox)` into `VectorBox (Phi Phi)` to pursue opportunity of combining VectorBox with VectorUnbox. In this process, either the pre type check [2] or the process cloning Phi nodes [3], the circle case is well considered to avoid falling into endless loop.

> After merge_through_phi, each input Phi of new VectorBox has the same shape with original root Phi before merging (only VectorBox has been replaced). After several other optimizations, C2 would expand VectorBox [4] on a graph like below:
