>> Re-write the IndexOf code without the use of the pcmpestri instruction, only using AVX2 instructions.  This change accelerates String.IndexOf on average 1.3x for AVX2.  The benchmark numbers:

needleLen is not a temporary register. needleLen is used to read the kThByte from haystack below when !sizeKnown so must hold valid info.

src/hotspot/cpu/x86/stubGenerator_x86_64_string.cpp line 1439:

could be  jbe_b?
