RFR: 8344118: C2 SuperWord: add VectorThroughputForIterationCount benchmark [v2]

[Emanuel Peter]

> Took idea of benchmark from here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14581
> 
> It will be important for the efforts in:
> [JDK-8344085](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8344085): C2 SuperWord: improve vectorization for small loop iteration count
> 
> I ran the plots for `byte, int, long`.
> We have aligned/unaligned scenarios, and compute-bound vs memory-bound scenarios.
> 
> We can very clearly see the effect of vectorization, and that with increasing `size`, we get increasingly better performance. But we can also see the effect of pre/post loops: this creates the saw-tooth curve.
> 
> ---------------------------------------------------
> **Results**
> 
> red: normal -> saw-tooth
> green: randomized offsets -> more "smooth"
