RFR: 8350095: RISC-V: Refactor string_compare [v4]

[Hamlin Li]

> Hi,
> Can you help to review this patch?
> 
> Currently, `string_compare` code is a bit complicated, main reasons include:
> 1. it has 2 piece of code respectively for LU and UL case, this is not necessary, basically LU and UL behaviour quite similar.
> 2. it mixed LL/UU and LU/UL case together, better to separate them, as they are quite different from each other.
> 
> This is not good for code reading and maintaining.
> 
> 
> So, this patch does following refactoring:
> 1. merge LU and UL code into one, i.e. remove UL code.
> 2. seperate the code into 2 methods:  LL/UU and LU/UL.
> 3. some other misc improvement.
> 
> I could do the following refactoring in another following pr, as in this pr I'm just moving code and removing code, it's easier to do it and review it. In particular the first one, as it needs to rewrite the existing code for UL/LU case.
> 1. move alignment code of `generate_compare_long_string_different_encoding` upwards to `string_compare_long_LU`.
> 2. make `SHORT_STRING` case simpler.
