RFR: 8301489: ShortLoopOptimizer might lift instructions before their inputs

ShortLoopOptimizer might lift instructions before their inputs on some graph shapes. We propose adding a check that the insertion point for an instruction that is a candidate for hoisting should not be higher up the dominator tree than any inputs to the instruction.

Testing: tier1-tier3.

Additional testing: observed that `(cur_invariant && !v.is_valid())` never occurs on tier1-tier3 before the added test case.
Also verified that the depth check is equivalent to `(*vp->block() == _insert->block()) || dominates(*vp, _insert)` on all of tier1-tier3.

Failure case: in the attached image the `arraylength` instruction from B10 is lifted to B0, as the dominator of B10 is calculated as B0. This is based on the logic in [`ComputeLinearScanOrder::compute_dominator_impl`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/hotspot/share/c1/c1_IR.cpp#L801).  But the array input is in Block 3. This is later spotted in `c1_LIRAssembler.cpp` with `Error: ShouldNotReachHere()`. We can reproduce the error on other instructions too -- the reader may refer to the test case provided.
