Subtask of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/16620

SuperWordRTDepCheck is a debug-only flag, which detects if there are arrays in the same slice that have different bases, i.e. may be different arrays. This could be the basis for alias-analysis.

We should do aliasing-analysis properly in a future RFE ([JDK-8324751](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8324751)). If we can prove (statically or with a runtime-check) that two arrays are different, then this removes edges from the dependency graph, and may allow vectorization that would otherwise not be possible.
