This supports for floating-point absolute difference instructions, i.e. FABD scalar/vector.

Verified with linux-aarch64-server-release, tier1-3.

Added a JMH micro `test/micro/org/openjdk/bench/vm/compiler/FloatingScalarVectorAbsDiff.java` for performance test.

The FABD (scalar), the performance tests handle registers directly, the average latency reduces to almost half  (~57%) of the original.
For FABD (vector), we restrict the data size (~24KB) to be less than L1 data cache size (32KB),
so that the memory access can hit in L1, and witness 14.2% (float) and 21.2% (double) improvements.

The JMH results on Kunpeng916:
