But for certain data width, not all immediates can be encoded in the instruction field of `LDR/STR` [[1]](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/8db7bad992a0f31de9c7e00c2657c18670539102/src/hotspot/cpu/aarch64/assembler_aarch64.inline.hpp#L33). The ranges are different as data widths vary.

Before the patch, the expression was matching with `operand indOffIN()`. But, for 64-bit `LDR/STR`, signed immediate byte offset must be in the range -256 to 255 or positive immediate byte offset must be a multiple of 8 in the range 0 to 32760 [[2]](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0602/2023-09/Base-Instructions/LDR--immediate---Load-Register--immediate--?lang=en). `1030` can't be encoded in the instruction field. So, after matching, when we do checking for instruction encoding, the assertion would fail.

We introduce `indOffIN4/indOffLN4` and `indOffIN8/indOffLN8` for 32-bit data type and 64-bit data type separately in the patch. E.g., for `memory4`, we remove the generic `indOffIN/indOffLN`, which matches wrong unscaled immediate range, and replace them with `indOffIN4/indOffLN4` instead.
