> This changeset restructures the macro expansion phase to not include macro elimination and also adds a flag StressMacroElimination which randomizes macro elimination ordering for stress testing purposes.
> 
> Changes:
> - Implemented a method `eliminate_opaque_looplimit_macro_nodes` that removes the functionality for eliminating Opaque and LoopLimit nodes from the `expand_macro_nodes ` method. 
> - Introduced compiler phases` PHASE_AFTER_MACRO_ELIMINATION` 
> -  Added a new Ideal phase for individual macro elimination steps. 
> - Implemented the flag `StressMacroElimination`. Added functionality tests for `StressMacroElimination`, similar to previous stress flag `StressMacroExpansion` ([JDK-8317349](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8317349)).
> 
> Below is a sample screenshot (IGV print level 4 ) mainly showing the new phase .

> 
> Questions to reviewers: 
> - Is the new macro elimination phase OK, or should we change anything?
> - In `compile.cpp `, `PHASE_ITER_GVN_AFTER_ELIMINATION` follows `PHASE_AFTER_MACRO_ELIMINATION` in the current fix. Should `PHASE_ITER_GVN_AFTER_ELIMINATION` be removed ? 
> 
> Testing:
> GitHub Actions
> tier1 to tier5 on windows-x64, linux-x64, linux-aarch64, macosx-x64, and macosx-aarch64.
> Tested that thousands of graphs are correctly opened and visualized with IGV using the same test used in  ([JDK-8317349](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8317349))
