RFR(L): 8130654: ppc: implement MultiplyToLen intrinsic

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Goetz,

the change looks good.

I have just a few minor remarks:

frame_ppc.inline.hpp
- please update the copyright year

vm_version_ppc.cpp
- you removed UseNewFastLockPPC64 - can you please also remove the
last occurrence in  ppc.ad

stubGenerator_ppc.cpp
- once you already declared the various temp registers, maybe you can
also use these temp names for spilling? This could avoid potential
problems if somebody changes one of the temp registers. And you could
also use R1_SP instead of R1 to make it more clear that R1 is the SP.

Regards,
Volker
