RFR: 8323220: Reassociate loop invariants involved in Cmps and Add/Subs

// inv1 == (x + inv2) => ( inv1 - inv2 ) == x
// inv1 == (x - inv2) => ( inv1 + inv2 ) == x
// inv1 == (inv2 - x) => (-inv1 + inv2 ) == x


For example,


fn(inv1, inv2)
  while(...)
      x = foobar()
      if inv1 == x + inv2
           blackhole()


We can transform this into


fn(inv1, inv2)
  t = inv1 - inv2
  while(...)
      x = foobar()
      if t == x
           blackhole()


I have two examples in JDK source code
1. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/b78896b9aafcb15f453eaed6e154a5461581407b/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/invoke/LambdaFormEditor.java#L910. LHS `1` and RHS `pos` are both loop invariant
2. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/b78896b9aafcb15f453eaed6e154a5461581407b/src/jdk.zipfs/share/classes/jdk/nio/zipfs/ZipFileSystem.java#L1606. In separate transformation, the `>` is transformed into `!=` (not sure why TBH), and both sides have invariants

Passes tier1 locally on Linux machine. Passes GHA on my fork.
