>> Added a test case to assess the distinctness of traces generated from different seeds. This fix addresses the fragility concern highlighted in [JDK-8325482](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8325482) by verifying that traces produced using N (in this case 10) distinct seeds are all not identical.

>> While investigating this issue, I observed that in `compiler/debug/TestStress.java`, the stress options for macro expansion and macro elimination were not being triggered because there were fewer than 2 macro nodes. Note that the `shuffle_macro_nodes()` in` compile.cpp` is only meaningful when there are more than two macro nodes. The generated traces for macro expansion and macro elimination in `TestStress.java` were empty. I have proposed changes to address this problem.
