> Hi, please consider this cleanup change.
>
> Currently, we have mixed use of `addi` and `add(int64_t)`/`sub(int64_t)`. The former adds a 12-bit immediate while the latter
> does not have a constraint on the immediate range. We should use `addi` when possible, which would help save one runtime check about the immediate range and avoid the use of one tmp register by the latter as well.
>
> In order to make the code more readable, this also introduces helper routines `subi`/`subiw` and adapts callsites of `addi`/`addiw` with negative immediates.
>

> <Design of the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture>:

> There is no SUBI instruction, because ADDI with a negative immediate is almost equivalent. The one
> exception arises from the asymmetry of the twos complement representation: SUBI with an immediate of
> -2048 would add 2048 to a register, which ADDI is incapable of.
>
>
> Testing on Premier-P550 SBC running Ubuntu-24.04:
> - [x] : tier1-3 and gtest:all (release)
> - [x] : hotspot:tier1 (fastdebug)
