RFR(M): 8068503: ppc64: Encode/Decode nodes for disjoint cOops mode

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Coleen,

Now I implemented the optimization in macroAssembler, also for the 
decode case, anyways.  
Unfortunately it's only used in the methodHandles code.
Testing took a bit because the results were spoiled by unrelated problems.

I uploaded a new webrev:

Best regards,
  Goetz.

Don't you have to make (or want to make) changes to 
MacroAssembler::decode_heap_oop_not_null in the macro assembler files?
