> This PR introduces changes in the detection of missing IGVN optimizations. As explained in the JBS issue description, when `-XX:VerifyIterativeGVN` was introduced, it was helpful to list all the missing optimizations. Such failures occur less frequently now, and the focus has changed to being able to debug such failure quickly and identifying similar or related failures during bug triaging.
>
> In summary, this PR brings the following changes:
> - Assert at the first verification failure in `verify_Optimize` instead of attemtping to process all the nodes in the graph. This makes the output easier to parse, and also decreases the overhead of getting to the actual optimization site with a debugger.
> - Avoid confusing `Need to remove from hash before changing edges` assert messages by removing the verified node from the hash table before attempting to optimize the node in question.
> - Provide the failure reason (Ideal, Identity or Value) and the node name in the assert message itself to facilitate identifying related failures in the testing infrastructure during bug triaging.
>
> ### Example outputs
> #### [JDK-8371534: C2: Missed Ideal optimization opportunity with AndL and URShiftL ](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8371534)
> Before the change, we would get two missed optimizations (the second one is only a consequence of the first one). After the change, we only get the first one, which is the one that actually needs to be fixed. We also get the name of the node in the assert message.
